Some homes simply check the boxes. This one gives you a reason to be excited about coming home. Tucked into a fantastic Essex neighborhood, 115 Riverside Road offers a combination that is increasingly hard to find: a charming, well-maintained home with a large, level backyard, detached garage, abundant off-street parking, and a wonderful sense of openness and privacy. With the property backing to the school, you get a spacious rear setting that feels remarkably expansive and gives you room to enjoy the outdoors, entertain, garden, play, or simply relax. Inside, the home delivers the character buyers hope to find, paired with the updates they want. The beautifully updated kitchen with granite counters and breakfast bar creates a natural gathering place, while the open living and dining areas, recessed lighting, crown molding, gas fireplace, and covered front porch add warmth and personality throughout. Dual-zone HVAC, a partially finished-ready basement, and generous storage provide the practical conveniences that make everyday living easy. And then there is the detached garage—a true bonus for storage, hobbies, projects, a workshop, or simply keeping your vehicles protected. But what may ultimately make this property special is the feeling you get when you are here. It has space, charm, functionality, and a setting that is difficult to replicate. This is more than a house to see on a screen—it is a property you need to experience in person. Come walk the yard. Sit on the porch. Picture the gatherings, the quiet mornings, the projects in the garage, and the life you could build here. You may quickly understand why a home like this is worth seeing—and worth owning. Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
