Fully renovated, this one-of-a-kind property is a treasure trove of tranquility, nestled within a verdant oasis of lush landscaping. The cottage’s exterior exudes a storybook allure, surrounded with Boston Ivy draped walls and aged brick patios that whisper tales of yesteryear. The garden is a masterpiece of nature, with a tapestry of flowering plants, mature trees, and Cecile Brunner and Iceberg climbing roses. Step through the front door into a cozy interior that radiates exquisite charm and comfort. The living space is adorned with 7” Hickory Pecan hardwood flooring creating the perfect ambiance throughout. The kitchen, with its refurbished original Wedgewood stove, farmhouse sink and Dutch door, affords nostalgic appeal. The bedrooms overlook the garden, with one bedroom offering French door access outside. The third bedroom is currently set up as an office. The bathroom features a gorgeous pedestal sink with matching shelf accentuated with wainscoting. Both the backyard and courtyard are idyllic spots for al fresco dining or enjoying peaceful moments under the wisteria wrapped pergola.

Superb location, near Pier Avenue, shops, restaurants and the beach.
