About this home
Stunning 3 bedroom home on 7+ acres in Essex Junction! This home has been thoroughly renovated and also has a ton of potential for the next buyer. Walking in from the cozy front porch you are greeted by a tiled mudroom/entry and laundry room that provides great storage. The first floor has a large open floor plan with gorgeous Brazilian tiger wood floors that flow throughout the kitchen and living room. Cherry tongue and groove cabinets, Cambria stone counters, and a dual propane oven are just a few highlights of the upgraded kitchen. The lower level has a bonus additional living space with a Harman pellet stove, lots of windows, and a door to access the backyard. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms with hardwood bamboo throughout. The primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet and an updated primary bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. A recently added 3-car garage is finished and heated, offering tons of additional storage and room for all of your toys. Additionally, there are two unfinished bonus spaces that could easily be finished and turned into an in-law apartment or additional living space. Sitting on 7 beautiful acres with a back deck, gardens, and trails, you will love the outside space as the entire yard is surrounded by trees for total privacy. Not to mention a 1344-square-foot Quonset Hut with a new garage door for even more storage needs. Minutes to Essex schools, shops, and entertainment, this home has so much to offer! You don't want to miss this one.
