Bring your vision and creativity to this waterfront opportunity on Duck Creek, a peaceful tributary of Back River, near Cox’s Point in Essex. With approximately 50 feet of bulkheaded shoreline, a private pier, and beautiful water views, this property is full of potential for the right buyer. Built in 1924, this charming colonial-style home offers character, space, and stunning possibilities for transformation. The main level features 899 square feet of living space, including a galley-style kitchen, a combined dining room area, a cozy living/family room with waterfront views, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. A spiral staircase leads to the open loft-style upper level—approximately 400 square feet—featuring a half bath, French doors to a private balcony, and potential to become a luxurious primary suite or creative flex space. The home also includes an unfinished basement, perfect for storage. While the property needs work and is being sold strictly as-is, it presents a fantastic opportunity to renovate and personalize a waterfront gem to your liking. According to recent FEMA flood maps, the improved portion of the property is not in a mandatory flood zone. Whether you’re looking to restore its original charm or reinvent it with a modern flair, this Essex waterfront property is a canvas awaiting your inspiration.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
