About this home

Set along one of Essex's most coveted stretches of River Road, this exceptional waterfront estate offers a rare blend of understated elegance, privacy, and Connecticut River waterfront. Privately sited on nearly three acres, the property enjoys a serene, tucked-away feel while remaining just minutes from the heart of Essex Village. Custom-built and thoughtfully designed by its original owner, the residence spans over 4,600 square feet of beautifully scaled living space. Sun-filled interiors, expansive rooms, and a seamless layout create an inviting atmosphere ideal for both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed everyday living. Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a true retreat - complete with a substantial pool house, in-ground pool, and multiple areas for gathering and unwinding. Rarely does a property combine size, setting, and location so effortlessly. This is a distinguished offering in one of the Connecticut shoreline's most desirable enclaves.
