When Essex was being lauded as the Best Small Town in America, this home could easily have been on the poster. Mature gardens, a classic fence, modern amenities, and 1801 charm all combine in one of the area’s most walkable village centers.

Tasteful additions over the years have been updated so that residents can enjoy features like top-end Viking appliances along with original wide-board floors. The home is also a gardener’s paradise, with peonies, irises, bee balm, daylilies, wisteria, catmint, Japanese maples, and rose bushes galore along with a pergola and patios offering ideal spots to soak it all in.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for $1,895,000. For more information or a showing, contact Rick Weiner at 860-227-3191.
