Sited on a picturesque lane in the historic Village of Essex, this North Cove waterfront residence was architecturally designed and custom built with understated elegance and an emphasis on the unsurpassed views of North Cove out to the Connecticut River and beyond. Enjoy watching the sailing yachts during the summer months and soaring eagles in winter from the privacy of your home or seated comfortably on the blue stone terrace. Professional landscaping displays mature plantings and integrally lighted walkways, carefully designed around a multitude of beautiful perennial gardens, all leading to the spectacular waterfront with fully permitted deep water dock. Walls of windows bring the incredible views and natural light to each room with sliders leading to various balconies. An open floor plan is highlighted by a living room with warming fireplace and incorporates a definitive dining room, a light and bright sun room and a spectacular Chef’s kitchen with full wet bar and separate pantry. Additionally there is a first level ensuite bedroom which could serve as a primary suite. The primary bedroom on the second level features a fireplace, commodious bath with vaulted ceiling and a dressing room with separate cedar closet and two additional bedrooms each with private bath. This stunning waterfront Village residence is a sophisticated home, ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, but remaining a comfortable retreat for intimate family gatherings. Simply spectacular!
