Land with Home for Sale in Essex, Connecticut
88 Main St, Essex, CT 06442
Move into this elegantly designed, meticulously restored estate in the nationally registered historic village of Ivoryton in the town of Essex. Built by the prominent Essex industrialist, Samuel Comstock, the 5,400 sq. ft. property on 1.86 acres offers history and grandeur to those seeking privacy and tasteful opulence. Preserved in the same family for five generations and recently completely re-designed and updated, this home is ideal for grand entertaining, large family gatherings, and other unique experiences. Historic details have been preserved throughout, complemented with an updated chef's kitchen, butler's pantry, and new appliances. Thoughtful, custom interior design elements feature prominently in the grand living room and multiple seating areas. The ample 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms have been tastefully updated while retaining timeless architectural elements. Old world charm can be experienced in the renovated 3 season sunroom. Two separate home offices make working from home a pleasure. Outside, newly landscaped grounds mingle with century old trees and shrubs. New formal hedges, hydrangea gardens, fencing, and bluestone patios offer privacy, seclusion, and outdoor enjoyment unique for a property inside the village. The 20 x40 gunite pool is perfect for exercise and recreation alike. A newly constructed 2-car garage can accommodate electric vehicles or store vintage cars. Truly unique and like no other. A rare opportunity.
