This striking and inviting custom shingle-style contemporary is prominently perched above the Essex River estuary on 2.6 acres and offers direct tidal access for kayaking. Built in 2001, the 4 bedroom home offers an enticing blend of open and private space with delightful architectural elements. Large decks from the great room and master suite capture the sweeping river views and gently sloping lawn. This special property abuts Cogswell Grant, a conserved historic 165-acre coastal farm that is ideal for hiking, dog walking, star gazing, bird watching and more. It is a pleasant stroll to the village shops, restaurants, museum, and marina. The highly rated Manchester Essex Regional School District adds to the appeal of this rare offering. Seldom can one find such a private location that is convenient to highway, public transportation, and Crane Beach.
