A Classic Essex Beauty with River Views


The façade is a textbook example of Federal style.

An antique on a street of historic homes, 49 North Main Street is an 1850 Federal that epitomizes the dignified beauty of its era, and a five-minute walk leads to even more history in Essex Village.

The home has wide pine floors throughout and four fireplaces, one of which is in a 500-square-foot office with timbered beams and a separate entrance. The first-floor master suite has his-and-her baths, a fireplace, and a sitting area with views of the gardens and the Connecticut River.

The modern conveniences include a new four-bedroom septic, radiant heat in two of the bathrooms, a full-house generator, granite counters, and contemporary stainless-steel appliances. The picture window over the double kitchen sink frames more views of the river.

This home is being offered for sale by Sotheby’s International Realty for $769,500. For more information or a showing, contact Colette Harron at 860-304-2391.
