About This Home

As of October 2020

Can you hear the waves? Can you feel the sea breeze? Well if you owned this slice of paradise, you'd not only hear the waves but you'd be in them in just a few short steps from your home! This nicely updated three bedroom, full bath and a half waterfront home will make your dreams a reality! The layout is short & sweet, open concept, knotty pine throughout, kitchen adjacent to the living room/dining room with vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace & banks of windows peering out to the three season enclosed porch & beyond to the open water of Long Island Sound with Duck Island looming off shore. The three season full length porch offers an opportunity to sit & relax as well as view the boats as they pass by through the bank of sliders. If the glass is in the way & you want to feel the ocean breeze, just slide them open! Beyond the enclosed porch via a sliding glass door is a full length deck ideal for entertaining or catching some rays. If it's the sandy beach and refreshing water you want, just take a few steps beyond the deck, dig your toes in the sand or take a plunge! Hard to resist the temptation isn't it? The home also offers three bedrooms for you & your guests all complete with nicely located built-ins to stash your summer apparel & a full bath. Other accouterments include an outdoor shower, plenty of off-street parking, a shed for kayak and bike storage, storm shutters & all the beautiful blue water you can handle! Nicely located between NYC & Boston. Your oasis is calling!
