Property Description
** READY TO NEGOTIATE ** Charming, beautifully maintained seasonal beach cottage just about 800 steps from the shore. Tucked into a neighborhood of well-kept homes, this inviting coastal retreat is the perfect place to escape for the summer-spend your days beach walking, swimming, kayaking, shell collecting, or simply relaxing by the water. A bright enclosed sun porch welcomes you in and offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding after a day at the beach. Inside, the cozy living room flows into an eat-in kitchen, with a main-level bedroom and full bath. The finished walk-up attic has been used by current and previous owners to accommodate additional overnight guests. Enjoy summer evenings grilling on the spacious deck and patio overlooking the backyard and garden area, and rinse off in the convenient outdoor hot shower after a day in the sand. Recent updates include a newer architectural shingle roof, gutters and downspouts, energy-efficient Harvey windows, new porch flooring, and a newer entry door. Two sheds provide excellent storage for beach gear, and parking on both sides of the property allows space for multiple vehicles. Flood insurance is NOT required. Conveniently located near shoreline dining, parks, and attractions, including Mohegan Sun and the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center. An ideal summer getaway where you can unplug, relax, and make lasting shoreline memories year after year.
