Motivated sellers have downsized from this large, turnkey and like-new 2-bed, 1-1/2 bath townhouse. The home is in a country setting in the heart of Essex. Built in 2023, this home has been well maintained since. The nine-foot ceilings and open floor plan make it feel very spacious. The eat-in kitchen features a breakfast bar and pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, stainless exhaust hood and lots of storage space. The large windows provide lots of natural light and the kitchen overlooks the living room. A door off the living room leads to the home's private back deck. There is a half bath on the first floor and a mudroom entrance area. The second floor has a large primary bedroom, guest bedroom, plus a full bath. The home includes a finished basement with more than 400 additional square feet of living space with high ceilings and an egress window that provides good natural light for a basement. High-efficiency electrical heat pumps/mini splits keep utility bills low and the temperature pleasant year-round (both AC and heat). The back deck is great for warmer evenings, and it looks out over the large common area backyard. Great neighborhood for walks and bike rides! Two off-street parking spaces plus a short drive to Essex and Essex Junction's great schools, the Essex Experience, 5 Corners and local shops and restaurants. A short drive to Burlington, UVM Medical Center & BTV Airport, too.
