About This Home
Experience refined waterfront living in this fully remodeled main-level apartment, thoughtfully positioned to offer privacy, comfort, and uninterrupted views of the Long Island Sound. Set well back from the road, the home creates a sense of quiet separation while remaining part of the sought-after Morris Cove setting. Inside, the residence features two generously proportioned bedrooms and one elegantly updated bathroom. Hardwood floors throughout provide a timeless foundation, enhancing the home's clean lines and cohesive design. The kitchen has been carefully renovated with both style and function in mind, anchored by a center island that adds visual appeal, flexibility, and everyday practicality. The true highlight is the home's direct waterfront setting. A private patio overlooks the water, offering a front-row view of the Sound and an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. With private steps leading directly from the backyard to the beach, access to the shoreline feels effortless and exclusive. Modern comforts such as central air conditioning, abundant off-street parking, and a secluded setback location complete the offering. This residence delivers a rare combination of updated interior finishes and a remarkable coastal backdrop. A distinctive opportunity to enjoy waterfront living at its finest-schedule your showing today.
