Property Description
The Harmon Noble House, commonly known as Sunnyside for its eastern exposure and sunrise views across Lake Champlain to Vermont's Green Mountains, is a distinguished Federal-style brick residence dating to circa 1835. Set in the historic village of Essex, New York, the five-bedroom home enjoys 240 feet of Lake Champlain shoreline. 6-over-6 windows fill the interiors with natural light while framing sweeping views of the lake and the Green Mountains, reflecting the enduring craftsmanship and balanced proportions of the Federal period.Rich architectural details include soaring 10-foot ceilings, a mix of original hardwood and wide pine board floors, Rumford fireplaces with marble mantels, and a curved staircase. A thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen features JennAir and Bosch appliances, custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and a butcher-block island. Two elegant lake-facing living rooms, one opening to a lovely covered porch, while the other is used as a library with large bookshelves offering a quiet retreat or office space. The primary suite enjoys lake views, a fireplace, and large bathroom with soaking tub. 2nd floor has a separate guest or nanny wing with full bath, access stairway from attached garage area, providing privacy and flexibility. Additional buildings include a large two story barn with two car bays and the original octagonal pavilion, believed to have served as the Noble family's schoolhouse for their children or as the company's office. Recently restored with a new copper roof and equipped with electricity. Walk to the many amenities in the hamlet, enjoy dining at the historic Essex Inn or casual dining at the seasonal Old Dock Restaurant. Ferry to Vermont to the city of Burlington and the international airport. A short drive to the town of Willsboro, which offers a variety of amenities, including two full service marinas, public boat launch site, small grocery store, bank, hardware store, pickleball and tennis courts.
