Description

Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bed, 2.5-bath Saltbox Cape with a contemporary flair, tucked away in the desirable Centerbrook section of Essex. Nestled amid thoughtfully designed gardens and lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 30 years!! This home provides a rare blend of charm, functionality, and modern updates. Step inside to discover exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open, light-filled floor plan ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen brings a fresh touch, featuring an updated chef's kitchen with granite countertops, Viking stovetop, double oven, and KitchenAid appliances. The family room boasts natural light, surround windows, and an expansive living room with large windows and French doors, adding an inviting atmosphere perfect for gathering or unwinding. The first-floor primary suite offers single-level living with an en-suite bath/shower and closets. The third-floor loft and heated lower level provide flexible space for a home office, guest suite, or creative studio. Additional highlights include main-floor laundry with/ sink, built-ins throughout, high ceilings, and ample storage. Step outside and immerse yourself in nearly every gardener's dream. With over 320 square feet of private decking, you'll find the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or enjoy the serenity of your lush backyard retreat. The gardens have been carefully cultivated by local garden clubs and the surrounding shoreline area... The new addition was added in 2005, and the Leach fields were replaced in 2009. Three zones are offered for heat and central air to save on energy costs. The irrigation system is in place, which the seller has never used, and is being sold AS-IS. This is more than a home- a private sanctuary with a soul. Whether you're an avid gardener or simply someone who appreciates natural beauty, this gem offers the best indoor comfort and outdoor splendor. Minutes from Route 9, I-95, Schools, Essex Village, Ivortyton Playhouse, and Falls River, to name a few!

    "The Essex area including Ivoryton and centerbrook is very unique and charming. The Essex steam train whistle brings you back to the past. The downtown centers of each village provides local art shops and local cuisine. The overall location to other major shopping areas is very convenient. Lastly, the schools are listed as top performing schools. "

    "I grew up in the next town and went to the public schools. Returned to Essex 23 years ago, and my children attended the public schools. The town has lovely parks, hiking trails, shops, restaurants and terrific neighborhoods. Water access for kayaks and boating is abundant. Local tourist sites include Essex Steam Train, Ivoryton Playhouse, CT River Museum and the Griswold Inn."
