About this home

It's hard to miss the stately Victorian sited on the corner of Western Ave and Story St. This 4 bedroom home is just .3 miles from Essex Elementary and has been well loved and maintained for almost 200 years. Maybe you've stopped to admire the perennial gardens, the grand chestnut tree in full bloom or the 2 story barn (w/ pellet stove), built in 1832 and an integral part of the Essex boatbuilding industry for decades. Enter the first floor from the wrap around porch and you'll find intricate woodwork throughout, a classic wet bar connecting the front sitting room to the back living room and a refreshed eat in kitchen with a vaulted ceiling. Three bedrooms on the second floor feature wide pine floorboards, ample closet space and natural light. The third floor offers an in-law apartment with BR, LR, kitchenette and full bath but the options are numerous. Off street parking, a large manicured fenced yard and a tool shed round out this lovely home as it awaits its next proud owner
