Set within the quiet, historic village of Ivoryton, this custom one-owner home offers a wonderful blend of comfort, versatility, and charm, all tucked away on a peaceful low traffic street. With flexible spaces throughout, the home is especially well suited to today's lifestyle, offering the possibility of two dedicated office spaces-one on the first floor and another upstairs. These versatile rooms could also serve as a craft room, artist's studio, hobby space, or whatever best suits your needs. The inviting first floor features a spacious living and dining area that flows naturally into a functional kitchen with quartz countertops. Just off the kitchen, an oversized pantry provides an exceptional amount of storage, complete with built-in shelving to keep everything organized and easily accessible. This home also features a first floor master bedroom with a full bath. One of the home's standout features is the beautiful sunroom/den, where expansive floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light and create a wonderful connection to the outdoors. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, making this an ideal spot to relax in any season. When warmer weather arrives, enjoy outdoor living from the generous screened porch or the new (composite) deck, both overlooking the open backyard. A mature, tree-lined perimeter provides a peaceful and private setting. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and two additional flexible-use rooms, providing plenty of options for an office, hobbies, or creative pursuits. The full basement adds even more versatility, with a concrete floor, abundant storage, room for a workshop, and an extra-wide walk-out door for convenient access. Beyond the property, the location puts you close to some of the area's most beloved historic attractions, including the Ivoryton Playhouse, Ivoryton Tavern, and the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to call home, a property with room to work and create, or an inviting retreat in a charming village setting, this Ivoryton home offers a unique opportunity to enjoy it all. ## Location - **Address:** 5 Northwinds Drive, Essex, CT 06442 - **County:** Middlesex - **Coordinates:** 41.336356, -72.435713 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.336356,-72.435713 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Ed McCaffrey - **Brokerage:** Page Taft~Christie's IRE - **Broker Phone:** (203) 623-4078 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5-Northwinds-Dr_Ivoryton_CT_06442_M40025-65229?f=listhub&s=CTMLS&m=24201184&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f2779417351r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f14434558r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f608325695r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f745207564r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1397134958r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f37856244r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f4216658130r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1519266159r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f2439456798r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1388607007r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f898666310r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1298679172r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3041907254r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f732399866r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1325729257r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1019600830r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1433809113r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1291643682r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1243425553r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f576461474r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f991848958r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3787603316r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f4094546563r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3725466112r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f2953547166r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1356064192r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f185924969r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1147378529r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1220921476r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3690118528r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3976667585r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1869766336r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f2828158658r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f1168586606r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 35](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3597059247r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 36](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f3937687845r.jpg) ![5 Northwinds Drive - Photo 37](http://lh.rdcpix.com/e41120a34c349e72b9bddd4bb4ca337al-f4200483354r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 24201184 | **Updated:** 2026-10-28 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 SmartMLS, Inc.
