Nestled on 3 picturesque acres in Essex, this inviting custom-built 4-bedroom, 3-bath home was thoughtfully constructed in 2007 by Sterling Homes and offers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and Vermont outdoor living. Set on a beautiful level lot with frontage along the Browns River, the property features a private swimming hole, perfect for relaxing summer days right in your own backyard. Inside, the home offers spacious living areas with a flowing circular floor plan. The living room features a vaulted ceiling, cozy gas fireplace, and oversized windows that fill the space with abundant natural light. A first-floor home office with French doors provides an ideal work-from-home setup or quiet flex space. The finished basement with daylight windows offers additional room for a family room, recreation area, home gym, guest accommodations, or media space. A basement workshop is perfect for hobbies, projects, or extra storage, while the small storage barn adds even more versatility for tools and outdoor equipment. Additional highlights include a newer 2-year-old boiler, a plumbed gas grill, and a hot tub - both of which convey with the property. Enjoy peaceful mornings and evening gatherings from the screened porch overlooking the scenic grounds. With room to spread out, river frontage, and a prime Essex location close to local amenities, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both privacy and convenience.
