WOW... not often do you find a house like this! Exceptionally well maintained all-brick cape cod in Essex! This one is special because it has one of the best detached garage/workshop you have seen. The shop is essentially a 3-car garage (with one large door) and has 792 square feet of floor space complete with it's own HVAC, 200-amp electrical service, built-in cabinets, shelves and display cases. There is enough garage ceiling height to have two cars stacked with the correct lift in-place. Then there is another bonus of having another one-car garage (408 sqft) attached to the shop. Long paved driveway with covered parking area. Beautifully landscaped property with patio and permanent canopy. Both the front and rear porches are covered with permanent awnings. Once inside the home, you will find the main level has a spacious living room with gas fireplace and hardwood floors and separate formal dining room, also with hardwood floors. There is a large country kitchen with granite counters, solid oak cabinets, pantry and breakfast nook. In the lower level, you will find a great family room with gas stove, office area, separate laundry room with storage and folding space, a half bathroom, storage closets and covered stairway/exit door to the rear yard. On the upper level, there are two very large bedrooms and a fully updated bathroom. In the second bedroom, there is a permanent staircase to the walk-up attic. This home has all vinyl replacement windows, glass block windows, storm doors and a newer HVAC system complete with built-in humidifier. No HOA. If you are a hobby car owner, woodworker/crafter or anyone that has a home business that needs extra work area and lots of storage, this home is for you!!
