An oasis of privacy, peace and elegance awaits you here at one of Deep River's most desirable locations. Spring and summer song birds serenade you from the refurbished deck nestled among mature trees covering 3.21 acres of gently sloping land. As you enter through colorful gardens professionally landscaped for minimal maintenance, you'll be greeted by rich Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors that organically flow from room to room. A spacious open concept will lead you to the hearth of this home, an impressive kitchen that will delight the most discriminating chef. Cherry cabinets, granite counters, center island, SS appliances and a layout that allows for prep, cooking and cleanup to occur simultaneously. Entertaining is a must as your guests greet one another in the storybook family room complete with woodburning fireplace and cathedral ceiling, opening to a 600 sq ft deck where you can enjoy coffee in the morning, wine in the evening, shared meals or the peace of communing with this natural habitat. 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths include a primary suite with a spa-like jacuzzi bath, dual sinks, shower and a walk in closet sure to accommodate the fashionista in you. 3 additional bedrooms can also be used for office space, a playroom, exercise space or craft room. The hardwood floors gleam in the abundance of sunlight that enters through every corner of this home. And a full basement with meticulously maintained mechanics provides plenty of storage or is ready for your finishing
touches. All this is just a stones-throw from Essex Village and downtown Chester with their eclectic shops and restaurants, The Essex Steam Train, Ivoryton Playhouse and the Norma Terris Theater. The wooded land is set among Deep River Land trusts with miles of hiking trails. All this privacy is so close to our picturesque Connecticut River and with route 9 nearby, it is convenient to everything Connecticut has to offer. This is not just a home, this is a way of life.
