Property Description
Essex stands as one of the true "crown jewels" of the Connecticut shoreline...an iconic riverfront town defined by timeless architecture, a vibrant marina, private yacht clubs and a collection of historic inns and fine restaurants. Its picturesque Main Street, lined with charming shops, leads to the Connecticut River Museum and sweeping views of yachts quietly moored along the harbor. Just one mile from the village center, Primrose Ledge is an enclave of large, private home sites. Positioned at the highest point in the subdivision, 16 Primrose Ledge commands a distinguished presence, overlooking the surrounding properties while offering direct access to the Canfield Woods Nature Preserve. The approach is both stately and welcoming, with stone pillars framing the entrance and lush landscaping lining the stone driveway and surrounding the home. This Litchfield Colonial blends classic architecture and modern comfort with a wealth of amenities. Interior features include hardwood flooring, two fireplaces, gas cooking and a thoughtfully designed layout for both everyday living and entertaining. A generous first floor bedroom--currently used as an artist's studio--adds flexibility, while an elevator provides convenient access to the second floor. The primary suite is complimented by a private room to be used as a sitting room, office or nursery. A walk-up, floored attic presents possibilities for additional bedrooms or recreation space.
