The Pelton House. This large classic Shingle style/Arts and Crafts home circa 1906 in the heart of historic Essex Village with beautiful views of the Connecticut River is full of original detail including built-ins, stained glass, window seats, paneled doors, hand blown window glass and more. To the left of the dramatic center hall entry are the library with its Cornfield Point stone fireplace, beamed ceiling, built in window seat and stained glass windows and the attached three-season glass paned porch. To the right are the sun drenched living room and original formal dining room with its window seat and stained glass accents. The eat in kitchen with new stainless appliances, a walk-in closet, full bath and first floor bedroom or office with its own ensuite full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms with good closets and 2 large baths. An upstairs doorway leads to the enormous full floor walk up attic ideal for bedroom or rec room expansion. There are original hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout the house. The house has a full basement and has city water. The house is currently configured as three handsome vacant apartments but is very easily returned to a single family dwelling. The house sits nicely on its lovely level lot on a very quiet street in the village center. There is an original 2 bay garage with windowed storage room and an additional garden/bicycle shed. This classic shingle style beauty is just steps from Main Street's shops, galleries, restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, churches, public library and parks and is a short drive to route 9, Interstate 95, and the Amtrak/commuter rails.
