34 West Ave Essex, CT 06426

A warm inviting home where c.1880 Victorian charm meets contemporary cool at the gateway to Essex village. Conveniently located directly across the street from Essex Library, Town Hall, town tennis courts and nearby town playground. Far from a cookie-cutter home. The floor plan is at once open and yet cozy. A spacious circular screened porch is the perfect three season gathering place. The eat-in kitchen is well-equipped and sunny. Original charm co-exists peacefully with clearly contemporary updates throughout, including central AC. First floor office/laundry with full bath. Perfect for burning the midnight oil while taking care of laundry and enjoying a hot shower! A brief walk to village shops, restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, the c.1776 Griswold Inn and the CT River. Just two hours from NYC and Boston. An ideal place to downsize, rightsize, work remotely, or put down roots in the best small town in the USA.
