Property Description
In the heart of Essex Village, this beautifully renovated cedar shingle style property offers a rare opportunity for residential conversion or a live/work space. Currently set up as a bakery and coffee shop, the space blends timeless New England character with thoughtful modern upgrades. The interior features soaring cathedral ceilings, oversized windows, and an open layout well suited for reimagining as a residence, studio, gallery, or private live/work space. Extensive renovations include all new plumbing and electrical systems, ADA compliance, mini-split climate control, and new windows throughout. The rear patio overlooking the Great Marsh offers an extraordinary outdoor setting with sweeping natural views. Three dedicated parking spaces and close proximity to Essex’s shops, dining, marinas, and outdoor recreation complete the offering. An exceptional opportunity to create a truly unique coastal home or creative retreat in one of the North Shore’s most loved seaside villages.
