The John Tooker circa 1780 home and three-story barn are perched on top of a knoll. This home has been updated and maintained while keeping its original integrity, historic charm, and features. The home has a first-floor primary bedroom, a unique characteristic not often found in an antique home, which also features 1 of 4 DECORATIVE fireplaces, and private full bathroom. An updated kitchen, first floor laundry, powder room, office, a beautiful living room with fireplace and original (decorative) beehive oven, and gorgeous wide-pine flooring round out the first level. The second floor consists of two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The ground-level walk out has been finished with two additional rooms that could have many uses, such as a game room, office, den etc., and another full bathroom. The property has lovely gardens and a private backyard with an inviting patio. Note: the heating system was replaced in the last year. This warm and historic home is a stroll from Essex Village with shops, restaurants, art galleries, post office, multiple marinas and of course, the renowned Griswold Inn.
