On a quiet stretch of Essex Street stands a house on a corner lot, surrounded by perennial gardens and full of bright, open spaces and windows that invite in the peaceful snowscapes of winter and the colorful blooms of spring. This home offers a cozy, glowing sunroom, a high-ceilinged living room with a crackling stove, a warm library, a large dining room--each flowing into the other but constituting a distinct space in the house. The newly remodeled 480 sqft kitchen is a chef's dream, spacious and bright, with plenty of room to cook, feast, and entertain. The primary suite on the first level, with its remodeled bathroom, opens directly onto a large patio with room for an outdoor dining area, while the four bedrooms upstairs offer individual oases off a hallway that leads to a second-floor balcony. Many thoughtful upgrades. Every home has a soul, and this one is beautiful.
