This antique Classic Stephen Starkey Circa 1847 home is surrounded by flowering shrubbery on a nearly one acre lot creating a park-like feel. With the large south-facing windows, this home is bathed in sunlight for most of the day. The large eat-in kitchen provides an ideal setting for gatherings. For entertaining, the large living room with fireplace opens through French doors into an equally spacious formal dining room. On the second floor, four bedrooms surround a cozy den for reading and activities. The three full baths have been updated, each in a distinctive style. The classic screened-in porch provides beautiful views of the private backyard, barn and surrounding woods. A large rear entry with updated floor-to-ceiling Andersen windows and the rear screened-in porch makes this home feel bigger than the stated square footage indicates. The antique barn with wood-beam floors offers storage or office potential. Essex Village living and is convenient to the shops of Old Saybrook.
