Welcome to 430 Essex Street, a southeast-facing 3-bedroom antique cape located on a picturesque 1.68 acre fenced-in flat parcel. This home offers a first-floor primary bed and bath and four fireplaces, including an original grand fireplace in the formal dining room and another in a spacious kitchen-adjacent family room added in the 1970s. The family room leads to a deck overlooking the property's magnificent yard with a separately fenced-in 18' x 36' in-ground pool. Additional features include the original living room, a separate office, one-car garage, wide pine hardwood floors, new carpeting, 4 heating zones, 200 amp electric, washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances, full basement with ample storage, and convenient access to Route 128, multiple commuter rail stops, beaches, parks, and walking trails. Originally constructed in 1817 with hints it may actually date back to the mid to late 1700's, this incredibly well-preserved home updated for modern living is truly one-of-a-kind.
