Property Description

This stunning and meticulously renovated antique Cape welcomes you to the heart of beautiful Essex, ideally situated at the corner of Alewife Brook, scenic Apple Street, and Western Avenue. Originally built in 1760, this light-filled three-bedroom home beautifully blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Timeless details include beautifully preserved wide-plank hardwood floors, three original working fireplaces, period wainscoting, and gorgeous original wood doors. The inviting kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and French doors opening to a lovely stone patio with copper detailing and an expansive backyard, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening and simple enjoyment. The first floor offers an exceptional variety of living spaces including a formal dining room, living room, office, family room, and laundry room. The family room is particularly special, featuring exquisite custom built-ins that add both character and functionality. The laundry room also presents an exciting opportunity to create a first-floor full bathroom. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms, walk-in closets, and two full bathrooms provide ample space and convenience. Mini-split systems on each floor provide efficient year-round comfort with cooling throughout the home in the summer months. The basement has benefited from substantial improvements, including a French drain, a dehumidification fan system, and electrical upgrades. Outside, two additional structures offer exceptional versatility and storage. A fully insulated and finished workshop features its own electrical subpanel, numerous outlets, ample lighting, and a workshop exhaust fan - ideal for hobbies, projects, or additional workspace. And, adding to the property's appeal, there is a charming red barn, nestled alongside the babbling waters of Alewife Brook. Fully insulated and already equipped with its own mini-split heating and cooling system, electrical panel, and two-way access; the barn provides a wonderful opportunity to create additional living space. Overall a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of Essex history with character, home comforts, versatility, and endless possibilities for the future.
