About This Home

As of November 2018

A unique and adorable house that needs your cosmetic touches! Family owned for over 60 years! Direct waterfront on Poquetanuck Cove. This 3 bedroom 2 bath home has knotty pine and stone work throughout. Master bedroom has double closets and is on the main level. Main level laundry. Two additional (railroad) bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. Lower level is a true "man cave" with a wet bar, wood stove and beautiful stonework!! Concrete patio with built-in brick barbeque.
This house is remarkably well maintained, but hasn't been updated in many years. Property includes a 3 car detached garage with a loft. This property is part of a family trust and is being sold "as is".
