About this home
Welcome to 974 Martin Road, a beautifully renovated 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom home in the heart of Essex that blends modern comfort with everyday convenience in a way that immediately makes you feel at ease from the moment you step inside. As you walk through the door, you may notice how every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a space that feels warm, inviting, and intuitively designed for the way people actually live today. Many buyers tell me that they know within seconds whether a home “feels right,” and this one has a way of quietly checking all the boxes you didn’t even realize were on your list.
The main level flows effortlessly, offering an open and bright atmosphere enhanced by fresh finishes, updated flooring, and a layout that naturally guides your eye from one room to the next. The kitchen is fully renovated with modern cabinetry, beautiful countertops, and the kind of cohesive design that encourages gathering, cooking, conversation, and connection. It’s the type of kitchen where you can easily picture preparing meals, hosting friends, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The living spaces are arranged to create comfort without sacrificing style, offering room to relax, entertain, and create memories.
Each of the three bedrooms offers generous space and natural light, giving everyone room to unwind. The two fully renovated bathrooms are designed with clean, modern selections that feel both timeless and fresh, allowing you to move in with confidence and peace of mind knowing the major updates are already done. Buyers often say they want a home where they do not have to worry about the “big stuff,” and this home provides exactly that sense of assurance.
The lower level expands your living options with additional finished space perfect for a family room, recreation area, home office, or gym. This flexible area allows you to adapt the home to your lifestyle rather than trying to fit your lifestyle into the home. When you imagine how you would use this space, it becomes easy to see why so many people are currently gravitating toward move-in-ready homes in this part of Essex.
Step outside and you will find a backyard that offers both privacy and potential. Whether you envision simple relaxation, gardening, play, pets, or hosting, this outdoor space can easily become whatever you need it to be. Many buyers come in wanting a yard without overwhelming upkeep, and this property provides that balance beautifully.
Located in a convenient area of Essex, you are close to local amenities, dining, parks, major routes, and everything needed for day-to-day living. When people choose this community, they often say they are looking for accessibility, ease, and a sense of being connected to everything while still enjoying the comfort of a residential neighborhood. This home delivers on that feeling.
If you have been waiting for a home that feels updated, thoughtfully finished, and ready for you from day one, 974 Martin Road may be exactly what you’ve been hoping to find. As you walk through, allow yourself to pause and picture how your life might look here. Imagine your furniture in each room. Imagine coming home at the end of a long day. Imagine the sense of pride and peace that comes with choosing a home that simply feels right. If that resonates with you, then this may be the one you do not want to let slip away.
Opportunities like this rarely stay available for long, especially when a home blends condition, comfort, and convenience at this level. If this home feels like it could be a fit for you, reach out today to schedule a visit and see for yourself what makes 974 Martin Road such a compelling place to call home.
