A Little Essex Gem with Room to Make It Your Own Tucked into a peaceful "no-through road" just minutes from the heart of Essex, this inviting ranch offers the kind of single-level living that is increasingly hard to find-with a few delightful surprises along the way. Set on approximately 0.24 acres, the property offers a wonderfully manageable footprint, a comfortable floor plan, and a location that puts Essex Elementary School and the village center conveniently within reach. Inside, the home offers six rooms, including two bedrooms, a spacious living room, kitchen, and sunny three-season-style sunroom. A versatile third room-used as a primary bedroom-could easily serve as a home office, den, guest space, studio, or hobby room depending on your needs. Hardwood floors add warmth and character to both bedrooms and the living room, while the sunroom offers an inviting connection to the outdoors. And then there is the heated and insulated detached two-car garage with attic space -a true bonus for Essex. With 220-volt electrical service, it offers far more than a place to park: think workshop, storage for boats and bikes, creative studio, or simply an enviable amount of space for cars and gear. The unofficial property record card identifies the home as a 1,208-square-foot ranch with two bedrooms and one full bath, built in 1959, with forced hot-air heating and an asphalt-shingle roof. There is something wonderfully uncomplicated about this property: one-floor living, hardwood floors, flexible rooms, a serious garage, and a location that keeps you close to everything that makes Essex special. Whether you're looking for a first home, a downsizing opportunity, a weekend escape, or a place to put your own stamp on, this home offers an appealing opportunity in one of the North Shore's most charming communities.
