Perched atop a hill, this sprawling estate is a stunning example of classic New England architecture. An inviting front porch and oversized windows capture the scenic views of the pond and lush landscaping below. As you approach the home, you're greeted by a winding driveway lined with mature trees and colorful flowers, offering a hint of the beauty that lies beyond. The interior of the home is equally impressive, with spacious rooms filled with natural light and stunning views from every window. Imagine cozy evenings by the fireplace or enjoying your morning coffee gazing out the window as that first sunlight illuminates the pond. This home has been professionally furnished and decorated, creating a harmonious blend of style, comfort and function. If 3,680 sq ft of living space isn't enough, a 2,400 sq ft basement and 600 sq ft above the detached garage both provide a blank canvas. Bring your imagination - bedrooms, offices, art studio, workout room, she shed, man cave, etc. There is enormous future potential both in terms of functionality and value. Located in one of the most charming small towns in America, Essex, CT has received numerous accolades from Coastal Living, Travel & Leisure, and Country Living and is known for its historic charm and scenic waterfront. A whole house generator, herringbone hardwood floors, Wolf appliances, 5 car garage, custom 10ft waterfall, new roof, and Zen-like landscaping all make this home a must see! All furnishings negotiable.
