Welcome to this wonderful raised ranch nestled at the end of a quiet, no-through-traffic neighborhood in one of Essex's most desirable locations. Surrounded by woodlands with nearby access to area trail networks & Sand Hill Park and Pools, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience, just minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools, and everyday amenities. Step inside to a bright and inviting main living area featuring vaulted ceilings and hardwood flooring that create an open, airy feel. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the nicely appointed kitchen, where direct access to the shaded back deck makes entertaining and summertime cookouts a breeze. Three comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully updated 3/4 bath with brand-new flooring complete the main level. The partially finished lower level provides excellent additional living space with a cozy family room centered around a wood-burning fireplace, the perfect spot to unwind on crisp Vermont evenings. A versatile bonus room offers flexibility for a home office, gym, or hobby space, while direct access to the walk-in garage adds everyday convenience. Outside, enjoy a level backyard framed by mature trees, creating a peaceful, private setting ideal for relaxing, gardening, or outdoor play. Significant mechanical and exterior improvements completed within the past decade - including a standing seam metal roof, siding, windows, and deck - provide lasting value and peace of mind.
