This is a rare opportunity to own an affordable, updated home right in Essex on almost an acre and a half of land! Some other improvements include: updated appliances, beautifully updated first floor full bath, newer windows, some new carpet (hardwood is underneath carpet on 1st floor), added insulation as well as a new boiler installed in 2006. The bedrooms are larger then you would expect with 2 up and 2 down with a half bath upstairs and lots of closet space. The full dry basement could easily be finished and is great for a workshop, storage or exercise area. The expansive backyard of the home backs up to the woods and there is a bonus outbuilding with electricity for added storage, parking and work space. Convenient to the village, schools, library, shopping and I-89.
