A spacious, exquisite, immaculately maintained home that shows like new! This impressive property is on the market for the first time since it was custom designed by the original owners, and built by a renowned local contractor. Attention to detail and flow is apparent throughout. The floor plan is fantastic. In addition to a large kitchen/great room with a fireplace and sliders leading to a rear deck, there is a first floor "flex" room currently utilized as an office. With it's closet and adjacent full bath, this room can easily live as a first floor primary suite or aupair/in-law bedroom. Custom moldings and hardwood flooring throughout most of the house. Nine-foot-plus ceilings on the main level and eight-foot plus ceilings upstairs. Up to 6 bedrooms offer space for family and guests, or office/studio/media room options. The 1,780 SF lower level offers opportunity for additional finished rooms, if desired. The outdoor area is private, enhanced by an irrigation system, and graciously landscaped. Offering seasonal views of the CT River, and set on a quiet 1.84 lot in sought-after South Cove Hills, this slice of paradise is located less than two miles from Essex Village shops, restaurants, galleries, yacht clubs and marinas, and minutes from the Old Saybrook train station, downtown Old Saybrook shops, restaurants, the Katharine Hepburn Center for the Cultural Arts, and Saybrook Point. Enjoy an enviable shoreline lifestyle mid-way between Boston and New York City!
