35 Summit Street, Essex, CT 06442

A job transfer to Ca. is making this charming house available again in less than a year. It's only gotten better, the current owner's improvements include: removal of carpeting on stairs and 2nd floor, hardwood refinished. A new chimney liner, upgraded electrical, new bilco door, attic floored repainted and new handrails installed. Several large trees were removed in addition to a general yard cleanup. Perched on a hill, with a level backyard, it's perfect for a garden or to add a garage if desired. This property is very private, yet walkable to the village of Ivoryton to enjoy a play or a meal. The 3 season porch is a delight to use most of the year and the finished, walk-up attic has many possibilities. The period details include tin ceilings, beautiful moldings throughout, original stairs and windows with storms for added insulation, a beautiful stained glass window and some period light fixtures. It doesn't get much cozier than this. Enjoy the peace and quiet of living in a quintessential New England village.
