Welcome home to your very own enchanting cottage, with an elevated easterly and southward view of the Niantic River! Enter your home through the spacious, well appointed kitchen with a pleasing color palate and granite counter tops. Then turn to your left to take in the dining/living room with rustic wide board wood floors, all open concept and with sliders and many windows to gaze at the expansive river view. Step out onto your roomy, elevated deck to breathe in the fresh air, sip your morning coffee, entertain guests, or simply relax with a good book. On chilly days, throw some wood in the wood stove and lounge cozily inside while enjoying the view. A main floor bedroom and full bath with stand-up shower complete the first floor. On the second level you will find two more bedrooms and another full bathroom with a full tub and shower combination. The front of the home bedroom also enjoys beautiful water views. Head down to the lower level for the laundry room with year old and rarely used Samsung washer and dryer. The partially finished basement area is ready for your personal touch. You will also find a workshop beyond the finished area and also more storage. There is an enclosed, stone porch area facing the water, under the elevated deck with a walkout to the manageable, raised front lawn. Deeded access to the neighborhood boat launch is just a few yards across the street.***Off street parking is across the street on River Road***
