Essex Village Gem - Exceptional style exudes from this sweet and showroom condition single story home with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The charming home, with flexibility in the use of space, has been taken from its circa 1948 roots and completely transformed into a picture perfect home with today's amenities and with the attention to details usually found in much higher priced homes. There is a warm and welcoming ambiance as soon as you step into this well loved and maintained home with no shortage of crown moldings, detailed trim, built-ins and pocket doors. The entire home has been completely renovated both cosmetically and mechanically with all new windows and doors to add character and light, new kitchen just completed, new baths, hardwood throughout, new heating and central air system, new electrical which includes wiring for a whole house generator, a wood burning fireplace with gas insert, and a rebuilt chimney. Transom windows on interior walls allow additional light. The beautiful custom triple slider in the living room is the perfect frame for the view of the gardens and rock outcroppings which are a highlight of the property. The home flows beautifully from the living area to the well designed deck and the level half acre lot with many flowering shrubs. Walk to the restaurants and shops of the quintessential New England Village famous for the Connecticut River Museum and Griswold Inn, and equidistant from New York and Boston.
