You could be the third lucky person to own this property. This 1590 square ft, split-level ranch, welcomes you the moment you cross the threshold. The living room has a stone fireplace for cozy evenings and flows into the dining room with a modern chandelier. There are hardwood floors in both of these rooms. The kitchen has new (Dec. 2023) stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and plenty of storage. The 3-season sunroom, 240 sq ft not represented in the square foot totals, is the bright star of the first floor with three walls of sliders, so you can see all that the backyard has to offer: stone patio, firepit and mature trees and flowers or to relax and enjoy a casual dinner or glass of wine. The three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, provide plenty of options, especially if you need a home office or guest rooms. The hall bathroom was remodeled in July 2023 including tile floor, double vanity, new tub and tile surround as well as all new lighting, fixtures and window. The primary bedroom is large with two closets, carpeted floor but there is hardwood underneath and a master bath. The family room boasts a new luxury vinyl wood floor, built in bookshelves and south facing windows to keep everything light and bright. From the family room, walk out directly onto a stone patio which overlooks the large level yard. The lawn between the patio and stairs from the sunroom is awaiting sod as the pipe from the septic tank was recently replaced: March 2024,
the system was checked, pumped and a new riser installed. The house was also freshly painted in October 2023. This home is being sold 'As Is'. You will love the neighborhood, as it is a short walk from the house to stroll the quaint streets of Essex, enjoy views of the Connecticut River or hike one of the many local Essex Land Trust trails. Essex is conveniently located along the Connecticut shoreline, with easy access to both Route 9 and I 95. You don't want to miss the opportunity to make this your new home.
