Description

The Benjamin F. Post House, c. 1801, has been thoroughly and thoughtfully updated to provide all the amenities of modern living while respecting the historical integrity of the home. A sidewalk just steps from the property leads directly into the heart of Essex Village, an approximately 20-minute walk to its shops, restaurants, marina, and waterfront. Set on a .48-acre professionally landscaped lot backing up to a quiet wooded area, the fenced-in backyard boasts a beautiful gunite pool and a generous pool deck/patio, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. Inside on the first floor, there is a light-filled chef's kitchen, well-appointed with upscale appliances including a commercial-grade six-burner range, a large center island, and ample counter space. There is also a formal dining room, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a library with a gas fireplace and built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. An additional room with its own exterior entrance could serve as an office or a potential first-floor bedroom. A lovely four-season sunroom overlooks the pool deck and features a convenient wet bar complete with a beverage chiller. There is also a powder room on the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite has an updated ensuite bathroom with marble finishes, a large walk-in closet, and a spacious sitting area. There are also two more bedrooms, another den/office area, a second updated bathroom, and laundry. Offering historic character, modern comforts, privacy, and, exceptional village walkability, this special home could serve as a weekend retreat or as your next place to call home.
