Presenting the Ebenezer Hayden II house c.1795. First time offered in fifty-one years! This prominent, much-admired 2,210 SF four bedroom, two bath Essex Village Georgian Colonial sits on a .28 acre village lot and includes a 1,049 SF cottage with two bedrooms, two full baths, and an attached two-car garage on Novelty Lane. Original details include wide-board floors, dentil moldings, bookcases, fireplaces, doors, and hardware. No interior photos due to tenants' concern for privacy. High ceilings on both the first and second floors. Enjoy stunning water views from several rooms and the gorgeous bluestone terrace at the rear of the main house. The one-level cottage offers many options for family and guests. This is a truly irreplaceable Essex village property offered by the estate of the long-time owner. With some updates, this home will regain its rightful place as one of the most significant properties in world-renowned Essex Village. Showing times are limited. Moments to yacht clubs, the c.1776 Griswold Inn, restaurants, shops, marinas, health spa, the CT River Museum, Essex Harbor, and the CT River! Two hours to NYC or Boston via rail or highway.
