Essex Village is a short walk to this one-of-a-kind home, privately set on over three picturesque acres. Just moments from the Essex town line, this extraordinary custom home is the result of an exceptional architectural transformation, blending timeless New England character with thoughtful, high-end design. Enjoy a peaceful, private setting while being just minutes from the charming village centers of Deep River and Essex, with their acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, marinas, yacht clubs, the Connecticut River Museum, and the historic Griswold Inn. A comprehensive redesign of the home's exterior was completed by renowned architect Christopher Arelt, featuring all-new windows, structural insulated panels for enhanced energy efficiency, cedar shingle siding, copper gutters, Azek trim, a 4-zone heating system, an expansive Ipe deck and stairs, a bluestone patio, and a private outdoor shower. A brand-new well, drilled in May, and a whole-house generator powered by a 500-gallon underground propane tank provide year-round comfort and peace of mind. The home's showpiece is the spectacular four-season sunroom. This breathtaking space features a coffered beadboard ceiling, rich Brazilian cherry flooring, walls of windows, a wood-burning stove, custom built-in seating, and French doors opening onto the expansive Ipe deck, creating an extraordinary setting for year-round living and entertaining. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character, showcasing pine and pumpkin pine flooring, soaring ceilings, custom millwork, oversized windows, and a welcoming fireplace. A remarkable bank of four oversized reclaimed French doors, originally sourced from a New York City loft, creates a stunning architectural transition between the living room and the sunroom, adding a distinctive architectural detail rarely found in residential homes. A thoughtfully designed kitchen has beadboard cabinets, granite counters and Sub-Zero, Verona and Bosch appliances. The primary suite offers a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bath with radiant heated floors, 2 walk-in closets, and a separate library with sleeping loft. Both first-floor bedrooms feature charming vaulted beadboard ceilings that further enhance the home's custom craftsmanship and timeless appeal. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive. Relax on the expansive Ipe deck, refresh in the private outdoor shower, or simply enjoy the serenity of the beautifully landscaped grounds with rebuilt stone walls. Directly across the lane, a spectacular 230-acre land trust preserve offers miles of scenic trails, birdwatching, and year-round recreation. This one-of-a-kind residence offers an exceptional blend of architectural pedigree, luxurious updates, and enduring New England charm. This stunning home was featured in the NYT Real Estate section in November 2022 as well as featured in Coastal Homes in spring of 2012.
