Experience serene country living with this updated Essex farmhouse nestled on 25 private wooded acres with a stream, trails, and views! Currently a small maple sugaring operation, there are lines tapped on approximately 550 trees with potential for more. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a stylish kitchen with stainless steel appliances and subway tile backsplash, complemented by gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main level. The expansive living room, filled with natural light from numerous windows, is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy meals in the dining area, which opens to the backyard through a convenient slider. The first-floor primary bedroom boasts two closets, an enclosed porch, and en suite full bath. Upstairs, you'll find two guest bedrooms and an updated 3/4 bath. The full basement includes a workshop with a wood stove that can be used as a heating source for the house and ample storage space. An oversized 2-car garage and an outbuilding provide additional storage options. Significant improvements have been a new drilled well installed by Spafford & Sons in 2017, a new oil tank and hot water heat pump in 2019, and a new stainless steel liner for the wood stove in 2022. Situated in a tranquil country setting, this home is just minutes from The Essex Experience, offering dining, shopping, and entertainment, as well as easy access to golf courses and the Indian Brook Reservoir. Showings begin Tuesday 5/28.
