Absolutely Delightful! Tucked away in the heart of Essex Village you'll find 38 Grove Street, a classical New England styled Antique Colonial. Built in 1957 and rich with quintessential Connecticut charm, this home is understated elegance. The first floor features a warm and inviting kitchen highlighted by shiplap walls, exposed beams, granite finishes and a wood burning fireplace. Designed by a Sailor, there was thought put into every detail from the cleverly tucked away cabinetry under the stairs to the nautical moments and well constructed Butler's pantry. The Living Room is accented by gorgeous beams, a handsome fireplace, well positioned lighting and elegant cabinetry. French Doors open to one of the two patios making al fresco dining a true pleasure. As you head to the second floor you'll see a continuation of the nautical design with the harpoon handrail and mahogany millwork. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom with a lovely ensuite and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath round out this floor. At the top of the stairs you'll have a sneak peek into the English Garden inspired back patio. This space is anchored by an Artist's Studio which is, quite simply, just charming and perfect for everything from a secret get-away to an afternoon nap. Just a stroll from the library, parks and downtown, 38 Grove Street is both a village jewel and a quiet haven. An Essex treasure that feels as timeless as the tide!
