1845 James Phelps Greek Revival Style Home In Essex Village

30 Main St. was originally built in 1845 by James Phelps in the Greek Revival Style and located on approximately .26-acres facing charming Middle Cove and Main St. Reimagined and modernized in 2014 by the current owners; the property has been the subject of national, state and regional architecture awards for design and craftsmanship. It was rebuilt with all new plumbing, electrical, mechanicals and custom millwork. Other details include hardwood floors, a CT brownstone fireplace, a custom mural in the dining room, a great room with a large fireplace and an eat-in kitchen with a beverage station, Viking, Miele and Subzero appliances and a walk-in pantry. The second floor of the home which is accessible by a central stairway or elevator, includes a primary suite and two secondary bedrooms, all with ensuite baths. Located off the central hallway is a laundry room/pantry, making laundry convenient from the second floor. The basement floor of the home is accessible by the elevator and includes a 1,100-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar. Located behind the wine cellar are the mechanical and storage room areas and the exterior access point from the basement. The property also has a whole-house generator to keep the home operational in case of a power outage. In addition to the main house is a two story, 3-bay garage. Above the garage on the second floor, is a guest suite with an ensuite bath and coffee bar. Throughout the award-winning grounds of the property, you'll find plenty of spaces to enjoy in solitude or for entertaining friends and family, including a rose garden, cove-side patio, summer house and secret garden.
