Steeped in history and prominently positioned in the heart of Essex Village, the distinguished Frederick Scholes House (circa 1890) offers a rare opportunity to own a landmark waterfront estate. Cherished by its current owners for 49 years and nestled on a quiet lane along picturesque Middle Cove, just off the Connecticut River, this property seamlessly blends timeless character with refined living. Set on a .45 private lot, this meticulously maintained antique residence spans approximately 3,769 square feet and captures serene water views from its beautifully landscaped grounds. Despite its central village location, just moments to shops, dining, and marinas, the home offers an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Rich in architectural charm, the home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and elegant, light-filled interiors that reflect generations of thoughtful stewardship. Once known as one of the village's grand homes, its legacy continues today as a warm and inviting retreat with sophisticated style and historic integrity. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the property includes a spacious three-car garage and generous living areas that honor its past while accommodating modern lifestyles. The grounds unfold toward the water, offering a peaceful backdrop and a true connection to Essex's coastal beauty. This Historic Essex Village waterfront home is a rare offering where heritage, location, and lifestyle converge.
