About 32 West Ave
Property Status: Active In the heart of Essex Village, this furnished historic carriage house offers a rare summer retreat full of charm, privacy, and character. Originally built in the 1880s as the barn for a grand estate, where the horses were once housed, the home has been thoughtfully converted with meticulous attention to preserving its heritage while balancing modern comfort. Many remnants of its original era and function remain, creating a space rich in warmth, detail, and authenticity. Inside, the home features soaring 13-foot ceilings, a spacious living room with fireplace, formal dining area, two bedrooms, two baths, and a bright upper office ideal for reading, writing, or working from home. The kitchen offers solid oak cabinetry, dual-zone heating, and a heated floor for cozy mornings. Unique details include two original stained-glass windows from a 16th-century European church. Outside, enjoy a private patio and direct gated access to 18 acres of protected Land Trust property directly next door, ideal for quiet morning walks and peaceful time in nature. Formerly the Cheney-Downing Estate, the setting carries a notable connection to Essex history. Located across from the Essex Library and Town Hall, and just moments from marinas, shops, and dining, this is a truly special seasonal rental in one of Connecticut's most charming villages.
