Get away from it all and enjoy the sun-filled warmth in this expanded cape with heated 2-car garage in the Ivoryton section of Essex. Originally built in 1982, it was expanded in 1996 with the addition of a den and large suite. Nicely set back from the country road, where you can enjoy the sounds of the babbling brook, birds, and rustling leaves. The exterior and most of the interior has been recently painted. The floor plan offers flexibility with a first-floor bedroom or office, adjacent to a full bath. The front-to-back living room with dining area is great for entertaining, opening to the large Trex deck. The second floor features two generous-sized bedrooms and a full bath. A newer part of the house includes a sun filled den with cathedral ceiling and stone fireplace. A large suite has also been added above the garage, which is a perfect primary bedroom suite, in-law space or guest suite. Did I mention that the garage is heated? The home also has a top of the line Buderus furnace, two central AC systems, and a 3-year old septic system. A small part of the property is in Westbrook, allowing owners access to the town beach. Great commuter location, equal distance to I-95 and route 9.
