A peaceful union of diamond-in-the-rough serenity and simple New England self-sufficiency, this one-level home is sure to become a much-loved landing place for family and friends. The home honors its spectacular location—on a quiet side street off Rte. 133, on a 1-acre lot bounded by Walker Creek leading to the Essex River—with walls of picture windows framing unbroken views of tranquil woodlands. Inside, a deceptively large and flowing open concept design is highlighted by bright and expansive rooms with windows at every turn, creating an overall sense of being part of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is large by any standard, with more than enough counter space and cabinets, while a warm and inviting living room offers wood floors, built-ins, and a brick fireplace. Three bedrooms are equally large with one and a half baths, sizable closets, and picture windows. A spacious walkout basement with high ceilings will support a variety of uses including fireplaced family room.
