This much-admired and stately property sits on a quiet lane just steps to the Village shops and restaurants. Enter from the covered front porch into the 3-story light-filled foyer with a beautiful open staircase. The design offers formal and casual living spaces with a great flow for entertaining, indoors and out. The family room with fireplace opens to a screened porch that also offers a fireplace for those cool evenings. The first-floor office is a great professional space and could also be used as a bedroom, with an adjoining full bath. A formal living room offers a gas fireplace and opens to a formal dining room overlooking the back yard. The updated kitchen is open to the family room and breakfast nook also overlooking the lush lawn and beautiful plantings of the back yard. The second floor has a sun deck, and a spacious den with built-ins, open to all three bedrooms. The primary bedroom enjoys its own private deck with water views, as well as an en-suite bathroom with jetted tub and corner shower. Two more bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. The third floor offers a private room with skylights, excellent for a studio, office, or guest room. The beautiful, landscaped grounds and outdoor spaces make this feel like a private sanctuary, exuding New England charm. And best of all - it is just steps to the Essex Village shops, restaurants, galleries, and the magnificent CT river.
