One can’t help feeling a little transported through time in the 1804 Captain Elijah Worthington house, with its details like a heated conservatory and endless fireplace nooks, though thoughtful and tasteful updates root the home securely in the modern age.

Features like the cobblestone driveway apron and wide-paneled flooring give gracious touches of history, and the throughly updated cook’s kitchen, beautifully appointed master suite, and home office with sweeping river views leave no question about the home’s readiness for the future.

A step out the back door leads to a clasically landscaped garden oasis complete with an inground swimming pool, while the front entry is steps from all the attractions of Essex Village.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt/Sotheby’s International Realty for $2,099,000. For more information or a showing, contact Janet Peckinpaugh at 860-985-3659.
