This adorable Cape Cod style home is on the National Registrar of Historic Places and is also located in the Best Small Town in America! Sitting on 0.45 acres, the expansive and level lot is bordered by a lovely white picket fence, is elevated above the street, and is directly across the road from a privately owned pond. Upon entering this piece of Essex history, you will notice all of the charming and historic architectural details such as wooden beams, kerosene lamps, and the original stone fireplace and wide plank hardwood floors which are in mint condition. Currently used as a one bedroom home, the unfinished attic has already been given a head start to be turned into a second bedroom or work/office space complete with skylights. Two outbuildings on the property can be used as a garage, workshop, or for extra storage. The location cannot be beat as it is less than half a mile to the Turtle Creek Nature Reserve and less than two miles to Essex Village where you can find the Griswold Inn, CT River Museum, yacht clubs, marinas, and many shops and restaurants. Two hours to NYC and Boston. House is being sold "as-is."
