If quiet, privacy, and elbow room are on your wish list, wish no longer.

An enchanting home set on about 1.5 acres atop a quiet, private cul-de-sac, this home is minutes from Essex Village and the Connecticut River. The property is located in the quaint town of Essex, rich in maritime history and replete with waterfront restaurants, shops, marinas, and nearby cultural venues.

Combining timeless New England charm with expansive vistas and modern comforts, this home offers the perfect sanctuary for those seeking tranquility and elegance.

Fresh paint and recently refinished hardwood floors can be found throughout the home. With 4,714 square feet (not including the 650 square feet walk-out lower level one-bedroom apartment with a family room, fireplace, and kitchenette), this residence boasts four bedrooms, four full baths, plus two powder rooms. The first-floor primary suite offers direct access to a wraparound deck. There is also a newly remodeled en suite bath in the well-appointed second-floor primary suite. The soaring two-story vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace in the family room perfectly complement the formal dining room and living room with fireplace and wet bar.

One of the special spots in this home is the screened porch set above the lush landscaped grounds. The spacious eat-in kitchen has a vaulted beadboard ceiling and opens to a serene bluestone terrace and garden oasis. Amenities include a three-bay garage, workshop, multiple office options, new furnace and air conditioning systems, a long private driveway, and glimpses of the Connecticut River.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for $1,395,000. For more information or a showing, contact Rick Weiner at 860-227-3191.
