The location, the home, and the view equals perfection! Sited on a hilltop with views of the Connecticut River, this home has been renovated, redesigned and custom built with the keen eye of the architect owner. No expense was spared in the renovations with an all new ducted HVAC system with filtered fresh air intake and efficient heat pump, 1250-gallon septic tank and leach fields, electric, plumbing, well pump and neutralizer, and radon mitigation system, just to name a few items! The new kitchen is bright and airy with an oversized island, custom cabinets, Indian marble countertops, new appliances and tigerwood floors. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and double French doors that open to the covered porch with views of the river. The sun room is drenched with sunlight and the perfect spot for reading and relaxing. The first-floor primary bedroom suite has hardwood floors, walk-in closet, full bathroom with a tiled-in shower and clawfoot tub. Upstairs has two large bedrooms, a full bath and plenty of closets for storage. The addition of new dormers upstairs brings in natural light, a view of the river and adds architectural style to the space. The barn-style two car detached garage addition was completed in 2022 with a second floor that can be finished as a workshop, office or gym. If new with a view is what you are looking for, this is it! Just three miles to Essex village shops, restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, and two hours to Boston and NYC. Welcome home!
