198 Essex Road Old Saybrook, CT 06475

The Roaring 20"s come alive in this truly one-of-a-kind design filled with incredible charm everywhere you look facing an unobstructed view of the upper salt marshes and Ct. River. Flexibility of space is the watchword for this uniquely fun property that has left all the period architectural touches, but all the contemporary upgrades you would expect has been done here. The first floor is an invitation to entertain with a spacious formal living room (including the Baby Grand), an intimate formal dining room with the gas fireplace, the four season sunroom with original French doors, a new European style kitchen, and the octagonal morning breakfast room. The upper story features the Main bedroom with its own en suite custom tiled bath, built-in Armoire, a secret loft, and a private balcony for enjoying the view! A glass-enclosed sitting room is perfect for a home office, sewing/hobby area with book shelves or just a quiet space to read a good book. A very pleasant guest bedroom with a hall bath and whimsical mural wakes to the morning sun over the River. The third bedroom has been repurposed as a cozy den/media room and office space which can easily be converted back if needed. The full basement has 9 foot ceilings and a complete workshop area for projects of any size. New siding, new 2 car garage, the well house, and an additional carport with a small studio round out the beautiful grounds with specimen trees, mature plantings, and garden area. Turnkey home
