Cozied up to the Essex town forest with a large flat yard, this lovingly maintained home has so much to offer. Enjoy hosting BBQ's on the back deck, movie night in the finished basement space, and the ability to work from home in the basement office complete with a built in 'L' shaped desk. The large living room features a beautiful fireplace/mantle focal point and bright windows while the kitchen is beautifully equipped with stainless appliances, lovely cabinetry, plenty of counter space, and a dining area. The bathroom has a modern glass vessel sink and new vanity lighting. Beautiful hardwood floors and durable vinyl tile throughout the main living area keep maintenance to a minimum and makes cleaning a breeze. Updates include a new roof, gutters, waterproof foundation work, exterior paint, gas range, and increased attic insulation all done within the past 2 years. Don't forget about the attached 2 car garage with plenty of space to store outdoor toys and to avoid having to clean your car off in the winter! Walking distance to the many restaurants and shops at Essex Experience, Sweet Scoops Creemee stand, and two fabulous grocery stores via the rec path make this location incredibly convenient.
