This updated Cape Cod in the heart of Essex offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere along with a layout that easily adapts to everyday living. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a finished basement, the home strikes a comfortable balance between character and modern convenience.

At the back of the property, an oversized detached two-bay garage offers plenty of possibilities—whether you need space for vehicles, extra storage, a workshop, or weekend projects. A private rear parking pad adds ease and flexibility, making room for guests or multiple vehicles without hassle. Inside, the main level offers a functional layout with two bright living areas and a recently remodeled main-level bedroom that’s currently being used as a home office. The full bathroom on this floor was remodeled in 2025 with clean, modern finishes. A passthrough window connects the dining area to the kitchen, which was recently refreshed with additional cabinetry, granite countertops, and updated appliances including a new microwave and stove (2024). From the kitchen, sliding glass doors lead out to a 16' x 12' deck—resurfaced in 2024—ideal for morning coffee, weekend cookouts, or winding down at the end of the day. Upstairs, two more bedrooms offer quiet, flexible spaces with good natural light and just enough separation from the main floor to feel private and peaceful. The finished basement adds significant living space, including a generous open area, second full bathroom, laundry with washer and dryer, and a separate storage room to keep things tidy and out of the way. The fully fenced backyard offers privacy and flexibility for pets, play, or outdoor entertaining. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and commuter routes, this home is ready to enjoy from day one.
