This very unique and admired property has the feel of a gentleman's farm yet just a short distance to the historic village of Essex. Built in 1787 this Antique Center Chimney Cape sits perfectly on a beautiful 3.5 acres parcel. A babbling brook runs through the hillside and feeds a pond in the back corner. The main home is filled with unique charm, character and detail....from the covered outside fieldstone and brick Swedish Kitchen to the captivating dining room mural and original floors, beams and built-ins. The 2 car detached garage has a three season studio above. This warm inviting 400 SF space has 2 built-in beds, fieldstone fireplace, deck and is appropriately named "The Barnacle". Easy commute from the hustle and bustle of New York or Boston to this wonderful summer retreat getaway. So much of the value is in the extraordinary 3.5 Acres. Both the home and Barnacle in need of TLC.
