This very private, magnificent estate has spectacular vistas of North Cove and the Connecticut River down to Essex Harbor, which are protected by a forever land trust and enjoyed from every room. Sited on 2.8 acres of manicured grounds with a large gated carpark, this triple mint condition, custom Cape has shingle siding and a wood shingled roof. The first floor flows seamlessly with 10' ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and generously proportioned rooms. The marble floored foyer opens to the living room, where visitors get their first sight of the breathtaking views and are perhaps offered a drink from the concealed bar. A formal dining room and a mahogany paneled den are on either side of the living room, all three with access to a bluestone terrace that spans the length of the house. A coffered-ceilinged kitchen and family room have counter seating, a separate dining area, and ample room for casual gatherings. The first-floor primary suite enjoys its own private wing with two large walk in closets and a full bath with a shower and tub.There's a gracious landing on the second floor and three good sized guest rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Outdoor pleasures include a heated saltwater pool with spa, a fire pit, a dock that may accommodate up to a 44' boat, and a 15' x 30' boat house. Historic Essex, well known as a yachting mecca, has shops and restaurants a 5-minute drive away. Close by are the Osage Trails, part of the Essex Land Trust, an 8-acre waterfront park with an easy half-mile loop-marked trail. Directly across the river sits Hamburg Cove, one of the most beautiful boating destinations in the area and still considered the perfect "hurricane hole," providing shelter from nor'easters. Land Trust-protected property, including Coopers Ridge, spans the shoreline from Hamburg Cove south towards the Sound. A channel leads from the dock to Essex Marina and into the Connecticut River.
