Tucked away in the countryside of Essex Town, this historic farmhouse welcomes you. Lovingly maintained over the years, this home boasts charm, character and many updates. You'll love entertaining in the open dining room, cooking in the spacious kitchen, and relaxing on the covered porch on a warm summers day listening to the stream. Enter the home from the covered porch and into a mudroom leading to a cozy bedroom and convenient 3/4 bathroom. A lofted flexible living space, great as an office or gym, is found above the mudroom. From the mudroom, you'll enter into the updated kitchen featuring exposed wooden beams and vaulted pine ceilings, making the kitchen feel both warm and airy. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home where you can access the full bathroom, stairs to the second level, the dining room and an additional door to the back deck. As you continue on the main level, step into the spacious dining room, which is filled with natural light and leads through French doors to the large living room where you can also access the expansive back deck from the sliding glass doors. Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom and second bedroom. A 1/2 bathroom and laundry closet complete this level. Come spring, you'll enjoy the diverse flower gardens, the stream and the beauty of all the land. Wonderful country setting along a town maintained road yet only minutes to the many amenities of Essex and Essex Junction.
