1 Mack Lane, Essex CT 06426

The wait for your private oasis in a prime Essex village location may be over! From the moment you enter the circular drive tucked away on coveted Mack Lane, you sense arriving at world apart. Mature trees and shrubs afford a veil of privacy surrounding gracious landscaped grounds, a stunning pool, and spacious terrace. Overlooking all is a cedar-shingled contemporary home offering a sanctuary just moments from historic Essex village marinas, yacht clubs, boutique shops, art galleries, wellness center, yoga studio, restaurants and the CT river waterfront. The far from cookie-cutter floor plan offers two first floor bedrooms, living room w/fireplace, and a spacious eat-in kitchen graced by mahogany cabinetry, opening to a charming light-filled family room flanked by walls of windows, and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace. Step through an atrium door to the covered wrap-around deck. The entire second level comprises a primary suite with vaulted ceiling, full bath, a balcony to take in views of the grounds below and glimpses of boats through the trees. The walk-out lower level features a large storage area, workshop with built-ins, and a 345sf office with access to the poolside terrace. The sky is the limit if you decide to put your own touches on this remarkable village gem. Water access with a small dock is just down the lane. Essex is an authentic un-Hamptons slice of pure joy just over two hours from NYC or Boston via rail or car. Nothing compares!
