This well maintained, deceptively large ranch is a MUST see. Upon entering, you will be delighted by the stunning hardwood floors and large living room with windows overlooking both the front and backyard. The wood burning fireplace and beautiful built-in bookcases add to the charm of this room. The Master Bedroom with en suite bathroom has beautiful marble floors and vanity top. The two bright, front bedrooms have a shared bathroom. The light and bright kitchen has new quartz countertops and a farmhouse flair. Off the kitchen is a 220 sq ft enclosed porch, not represented in the square foot totals, to relax and enjoy a casual dinner or glass of wine. The finished lower level provides an array of possibilities; a room for guests, an in-home office, or workout room, the options are endless. In the family room, you can relax with a roaring fire in the stone fireplace, perfect for those cold winter’s nights. From the lower level, walk out directly onto a stone patio which overlooks the large level yard. 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.
