A drive-by will not do this property justice! This Sachems Head home has plenty to offer - inside and out. The setting is a natural sanctuary. Perennial beds and mature plantings provide everchanging colors and blooms from early spring through fall. The open hillside behind is dotted with rock outcroppings, stone walls, and lush gardens. The Acorn Deck House has the cool vibe of a mid-century modern home. Light and bright throughout. Open floor plan, cathedral ceilings, walls of glass overlooking the private deck and backyard. The living room with fireplace has 3 sliding glass doors which open to the 28' x 10' composite deck. Currently 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the laundry room on lower level is plumbed for an additional half bath. The lower level has a spacious (26 x 12) family room with fireplace, a wall of windows, and a French door that opens to the lower patio - an outdoor shower with handsome enclosure tucked in. A storage room, laundry room, and 2 car garage complete the lower level. Propane heat is complemented with ductless splits for air conditioning. Public water. Sachems Head is an ideal area for walking and biking along some of the most picturesque of Guilford's shoreline. Across the road is a trail head for a hike overlooking the salt marshes. Just 2 miles from the Guilford Green and all the town center has to offer. 1/2 mile to Trolley Road beach, 3 1/2 miles to Jacobs beach. Easy access to the train, and commuting routes. A Sachems Head find!
