25 Parker Terrace Essex, CT 06426

Everybody seems to have a lot of boxes to check when house-hunting these days. Here's a new one for your consideration - Personality! Beyond an epic location in a sought-after neighborhood close to parks, playground, the library, tennis courts, town hall and village shops, restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, the CT River, Griswold Inn, and CT River Museum - this house has Personality to spare. Really cool personality baked in through classic, contemporary, and nautically-inspired elements that just plain make this a very special place. From the moment you enter, there is something that subtlety says "welcome home." French doors, built-ins, coffered and wainscoted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, columns, and crown moldings all combine to magical effect. The floor plan is both open and reassuringly cozy - not easy to accomplish! A first-floor office near the entryway is perfect for today's remote lifestyle. Just beyond lies a formal dining room and newly remodeled kitchen/great room. Four bedrooms and three full baths. The spacious master suite includes an enclosed balcony overlooking close to a half-acre of level manicured landscaping and a circular stone terrace accessed via French doors from the family room below. Whether as a weekend get-a-way or year-round paradise, this is the perfect place to enjoy all Essex has to offer. Just a bit over two hours from Boston and NYC via highway or train. Catch it while you can!
