About This Home
Property Id: 2813992 Set on 143 feet of pristine lake frontage, this beautifully maintained late-1800s home offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms just steps from the historic hamlet of Essex. Original character shines throughout, from the warm hardwood floors to the striking double-door front entrance. A thoughtfully designed addition creates an open, airy flow from the kitchen into a spacious great room, where oversized windows frame lake views and doors lead out to a deck made for entertaining, morning coffee, or watching the sunset over the water. Walk to Essex's restaurants, tavern, shops, and library, or hop the ferry to Vermont just moments away. Marinas, a golf course, and pickleball courts are all nearby, making this a perfect basecamp for lake life. From here, Lake Placid is 45 minutes away, Montreal roughly 90 miles, Albany about 2.5 hours, and Boston around 4 hours — close enough for a weekend getaway, far enough to feel like an escape. A rare chance to enjoy authentic Adirondack lakefront living in a walkable village setting.
2868 Essex Rd is a house located in Essex County and the 12936 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Willsboro Central School District attendance zone.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
