Description

Come Home to this Adirondack Property. Priced below assessed value, this spacious colonial home is the perfect place to call home. Nestled on a private lot in the heart of Essex, NY, this home offers serene living with sunrises from the front porch and catch a glimpse of the sunsets from the back deck. Tucked away from the main road, a long, sweeping driveway leads to this attractive home featuring a charming front porch with low-maintenance composite decking—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A grand foyer welcomes you into the home. The kitchen features an island, breakfast bar, and eat-in area, with a formal dining room nearby. Large windows throughout capture the sunlight and surrounding views. The cozy living room includes a propane fireplace, and an adjacent room offers flexibility as a family room, home office, or den. A half bathroom in the hallway completes the first floor. A bright sunroom connects the home to an oversized two-car garage with in-floor heat, an unfinished half bath, and three bonus rooms—ideal for storage, office space, or hobbies. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bath. The loft area offers additional flexible living space, along with two secondary bedrooms and another full bathroom. Additional highlights include rear composite decking, multiple mini-split units for efficient heating and cooling, a generator to support some mechanicals during outages, and two large Amish-built sheds. Recent updates include a new leach field (2025), metal roof and front porch (2020), propane furnace (2019), and updated windows (2013). Conveniently located minutes from the Essex Ferry, Lake Champlain, and all the outdoor recreation the Adirondack Park has to offer.
