About This Home
This immaculate home is set back on a large lot far from the road for maximum privacy, creating a serene personal nature reserve tucked away under a canopy of trees. With clean lines and contemporary finishes with a nod to mid-century modern, it is a classically versatile design. Inside, floor to ceiling windows allow natural light to spill in from every direction further showcasing the natural beauty of the lush surroundings. An open floorplan creates an easy flow, starting with a living area with a fireplace and wet bar, a formal dining area leading to a well-equipped kitchen with beautiful wooden cabinetry, upscale appliances and walk in pantry. Just off the kitchen work area is a breakfast nook and a large family room with built-in bookshelves. There are also two more private rooms that are currently used as offices, and a laundry and powder room. A spacious deck at the back of the house leads to a patio area surrounded by mature landscaping. Upstairs, the primary suite includes an ensuite bathroom, and three more bedrooms with another bathroom. There is another family/recreation/media room in the basement, a two-car garage, and an outdoor garden shed. This inviting private retreat is located just minutes from downtown Essex Village and all it has to offer, including restaurants, shopping, and yacht clubs.
