An elevated deck and stone patio offer sweeping views over the marsh toward the Crane Estate. The second floor has three bedrooms & three 3/4 bathrooms. The primary's ensuite bath is being remodeled. Third floor provides two more skylight bedrooms under eaves with built-in storage. A large drive-through barn/garage with loft and two outbuildings complete this rare property, located near downtown Essex, Ipswich, and Crane's Beach.
