About This Home

Discover the charm of village living in one of Connecticut's most picturesque shoreline communities. Nestled on a quiet residential street moments from the heart of historic Essex Village, 17 Grandview Terrace offers the rare opportunity to enjoy boutique shopping, waterfront restaurants, marinas, parks, and the Connecticut River-all just a short stroll from your front door. This beautifully maintained home blends timeless New England character with thoughtful updates and comfortable everyday living. Rich hardwood floors extend throughout the home, while the inviting living room is centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in every season. The enclosed sunroom provides a light-filled retreat-perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, reading a favorite book, or simply relaxing while overlooking the peaceful backyard. Recent improvements include a new roof (2025) and a heating system approximately 10 years old, offering added peace of mind. An attached garage and a full unfinished basement provide exceptional storage. Outside, the low-maintenance yard lets you spend more time enjoying everything Essex has to offer and less time on upkeep. Located in a quiet neighborhood with a nearby dog park, this property offers a wonderful balance of privacy, convenience, and community and is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines charm, comfort, and an exceptional location in one of Connecticut's most desirable shoreline villages.
