11 Carriage Ln, Essex, CT 06426

Just a short stroll to Essex Village, this charming gambrel home rests on a quiet cul de sac in a neighborhood of lovely homes. Known as the "Bee Hive", it has been renovated using premium materials and craftsmanship, and tastefully decorated in soft serene hues. On entering the home, the large living room welcomes you with a wood burning fireplace, moldings and natural light flooding the room through windows and French doors on three sides. It is a room made for relaxation and comfort, yet it is elegantly appointed for all occasions. Steps away are the dining area and well accessorized kitchen, which is highlighted by honed granite and marble countertops, a porcelain farm sink and stainless appliances. A mud room with multiple built ins and travertine floor and first floor laundry area are ideal for daily living. For quiet reflection, a den with full bath which could serve as an additional bedroom completes the main level. A wainscoted staircase leads to the master and the guest rooms. Hardwood floors, a recently renovated full bath and an additional half bath provide a flexible living space. During the warmer months the large deck is ideal for entertainment, and the yard is punctuated by native stone walls and gardens. The village of Essex is steeped in maritime history and is home to marinas, yacht clubs, historic inns, restaurants, shops and museums.
