About this home

Endless possibilities and serene overland views top the list of highlights with this “almost” landmark 3-story building that dates to 1885 and borders the Great Marsh to the rear in downtown Essex. The former Ellen Neily Gallery for decades, this Mixed-Use Antique property with 2 decks that housed a retail gallery/shop on the 1st floor with residential space above and a 3rd floor attic – with Essex River views - offers new owners or developers exceptional flexibility. Use the 2nd floor living quarters with 2 bedrooms, full bath, kitchen dining and living rooms and to create a live-work lifestyle, use both levels for business or transform the entire 2,200 sf building into living quarters. Your options that include being an owner occupant, landlord, investor/developer go on forever. Extras: The 1st floor has a covered patio, the 2nd floor deck overlooks sprawling fields lined with mature trees and you have 3-car off-street parking.
