Embrace the uniqueness of this private, river front property. Once the art studio of world-renowned sculpture Henry Kreis, this cozy residence consists of four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a large dining area, den with fireplace and a sun filled living room with cathedral ceilings. The home offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. Meander down the stone path to the river's edge and observe the sights and sounds of wildlife, or launch a kayak to explore Tiley Pratt Pond. The property borders one of the Essex Land Trust properties, Tiley Pratt Preserve, featuring trails, waterfalls, lush vegetation and impressive rock formations. Not just a home, but a living work of art, the property offers an escape to peace and privacy in beautiful natural surroundings. Located less than one mile from Essex Village, it's a stroll into historic Essex with its shops, restaurants, yacht clubs, marinas and art galleries and the legendary Griswold Inn. Essex is approximate 2 hours from NYC and Boston.
