Waterfront oasis with sweeping views of the Quinnipiac River, fantastic curb appeal & a private dock. Originally a Post Office in Long Island, the home was moved here via oyster barge around 1920 to house the oyster boat workers. This cedar shaked gem, reminiscent of a rose covered Nantucket cottage, has been custom renovated. Beautiful open floor plan w/ a remodeled kitchen w/butcher block island that flows into the LR. Picture windows & French doors frame the view, while a wood burning FP & custom built-ins make the space inviting & warm. Through the French doors is a picturesque covered deck to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail & the serenity of the wildlife on the river. A tiled mudroom w/ a coat closet & a nicely remodeled ½ bath complete the 1st fl. The 2nd fl has a stunning MBR suite w/direct water views, sitting area, custom built walk-in closet, updated en suite bathroom & private deck. The washer/dryer are conveniently tucked away in the master bath. There is a 2nd BR & updated full bath w/marble vanity. The home was completely remodeled 10 years ago, including all new plumbing & electric. The outdoor space has been manicured w/high end finishes: decking & railings, brick & stonework (including brick driveway), fencing & plantings - even trellises w/roses that cascade the front of the home. Private dock is an incredible & rare offering & boaters delight: there is over 3' of water at mean low tide at the dock. Bring your boat or kayak & move right in!
