About this home
Private country living meets convenience in this charming 3-bedroom Cape tucked away on 4.98 acres at the end of a quiet dirt road in Essex. Surrounded by woods and nature, this property offers the privacy and space you’ve been looking for while remaining just minutes from Essex schools, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. The home has a welcoming character, with wood shingle siding and a flexible layout designed for comfortable living. The heart of the home is the large living room with vaulted ceilings and skylights, creating a bright and airy gathering space with two sets of French doors that open to the enclosed porch. A dedicated office/music room adds even more flexibility. The kitchen features gorgeous custom hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, oversized fridge/freezer and an eat-in area. A previous owner converted the former garage into a spacious primary bedroom suite with a brand-new 3/4 bathroom, while two additional bedrooms provide room for family or guests. The mudroom/laundry room adds storage and functionality, and the finished bonus space in the basement provides space for a playroom, gym, or other bonus space. Upstairs, a versatile loft and full bathroom offer space for a studio, guest area, office, or hobbies. Tons of potential for the right buyers, this property is an opportunity for the next owner to make improvements and add value. A wonderful setting for buyers seeking acreage, privacy, and room to spread out without giving up the convenience of Essex. Seller is offering $4,000 concession to replace carpets in loft, stairway and stairway to basement.

Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of this district is to protect lands with an economic capability for agriculture and which are now essentially undeveloped except for uses associated with agriculture or forestry operation. In this district, planned unit developments which do not remove the potential of the land for agricultural production such as open space, conservation and certain forms of outdoor recreation, are encouraged. Further road development and the extension of public water supply and sewage disposal systems are not planned for this district. Therefore, only low density residential and recreation development which uses existing facilities, which can adequately dispose of its sewage, and is compatible with the district’s purpose and guidelines should be allowed.
