Set on approximately 32± acres on scenic Argilla Road, this single-story ranch-style home is approached by a long, winding driveway bordered by open fields and paddocks gradually rising to the crest of a coastal drumlin at almost 98 feet. The house offers exceptional northwesterly views across the expansive marsh and the Labor-in-Vain Creek. Originally built as a summer cottage, the home was winterized and renovated in 1961, followed by an extensive renovation in 2009–2010. The house offers four bedrooms, three full baths, and one-half bath, a detached two-car garage, a tennis court, and a storage shed. A conservation restriction held by Essex County Greenbelt protects all but approximately three acres of the property, preserving the open landscape while allowing for agricultural and equestrian activities and improvements. Located just moments from Crane Beach in one of the North Shore's most spectacular coastal settings.Please do not drive by.
