Property Description
Located in the Essex Village district on a corner lot at Saybrook Road and Benson Lane, this post-and-beam home was originally a cattle barn in the 1800s and was meticulously transformed into a residence by Sapia Builders in 1960. The home combines historic architectural details with modern updates, including wide plank floors, natural wood textures, and an open-concept main living area with a stucco wood-burning fireplace. The layout includes 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a primary bedroom with ensuite bath. Bay-style windows along the lower level provide natural light throughout the day. The eat-in kitchen opens directly to a newly finished deck with awning. The level yard is fully fenced and includes professionally maintained gardens. Additional features include 2 newer mini-split heat pump systems, a recently replaced dishwasher, two additional air conditioning units, and included washer and dryer. Furnishings are available. Sidewalk stroll to Essex’s Main Street, close to the train station, and approximately 2 hours from both New York and Boston.
