About this home

15 Main Street is ideally located in the heart of downtown Essex, within walking distance of those famed antique shops and summer Sunday afternoons lunching on the deck overlooking the river at your choice of fabulous eateries. This spacious home offers over 2200 SF of living space and up to 5 bedrooms spread over three floors. Steeped in the charm of its riverside village, this home exudes character in its original features like exposed wood beams, wide pine floors, and built-in cabinets. Recent updates since 2017 include kitchen countertops, a new roof and electrical panel, a renovated bathroom (2020), new insulation & a new furnace (2020). An added bonus is the building on the lot, currently a barn/garage, which offers potential for renovation to create a versatile space for work, entertaining, or storage. Welcome home to Essex, a community known for boating & fishing on the river, scenic marshes, and perennially having one of the most sought after school systems in the state.
