An impressive and enchanting private retreat set on 1.51 acres atop a quiet cul-de-sac minutes from Essex village and the CT river. The perfect sanctuary for those seeking tranquility with room to entertain family and friends. Recent updates include new skylights, a freshly painted interior, and refinished wide-board hardwood flooring. 4,714 SF - PLUS a very useful 650 SF walk-out lower level one-bedroom apartment with its own family room, fireplace, kitchen, and full bath. A spacious first-floor primary suite offers sliders to a new deck overlooking sweeping landscaped grounds. You will find a remodeled ensuite bath in the second-floor primary suite. A soaring two-story stone fireplace is an impressive focal point in the family room, which cleverly shares a wet bar with the living room.
