About this home
Charming 5-bedroom farmhouse in a great, Essex location! Enter the home through the large mudroom with enough space to store all of your seasonal gear. You’ll love cooking and entertaining in the U-shaped eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast peninsula, and access to the backyard for easy summertime grilling. Follow the easy flow into the bright, open-concept living room. A pellet stove surrounded by a stone feature wall makes this a cozy space to relax after a long day. Also on the main level, you’ll find a bedroom, laundry room, ¾ bath, and a sun-filled room that could also be used as an office, den, playroom, storage, or other. On the second level, you’ll find 4 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout. The master bedroom offers a huge walk-in closet as well as access to additional attic storage. The large, 2-car garage has a tall door, big enough to fit an oversized vehicle. Outside, enjoy your private lot with plenty of space for gardening, lawn games, a BBQ, or roasting a marshmallow at the firepit. Great location just 10 minutes to schools, shopping, dining, and 5 minutes to Colchester pond.
