Hidden in plain sight! An extraordinary pocket estate within walking distance via sidewalk to the shops, restaurants, marinas and waterfront of historic Essex Village. Built in 1803, this remarkable 3,032 SF residence occupies a rare .90 acre site, and conveys with an additional adjacent .48-acre waterfront parcel, creating a wonderfully private setting with sweeping views across a picturesque meadow and stream leading to the Falls River. Rich in character yet beautifully suited to modern living, the home features four fireplaces, French doors, original wooden beams, a wood-shingle roof and a stunning kitchen anchored by a professional Lacanche range. A spacious deck and covered terrace invite outdoor living while taking full advantage of the exceptional natural surroundings. Beyond the ma in residence, a detached 384 SF studio offers an ideal home office, fitness or creative space, while the walk-out lower level includes a charming 200 sf brick "pub room" with woodstove and an adjoining workshop. A detached two-car garage and potting shed complete the property. A rare opportunity to enjoy the romance, privacy and character of a country estate, with Essex Village and the Connecticut River just moments from your door.
