A quiet retreat. Renovated in 2021, this serene 1930's cape has been lovingly restored to capture the charm of its riverfront setting. The open floor plan boasts a new kitchen with quartz counters, new stainless appliances and loads of storage. The newly designed fireplace offers a cozy focal point to the flexible living spaces and sliders lead to a newly enclosed all season screened in porch with heat. Enjoy riverfront views, and the zen sound of running water from the expansive deck... room enough for table, sofas and Bbq. All renovated bathrooms, a newly created 2nd floor office (or 4th bedroom), and beautifully restored wood roof are just some of the many special features of this unique home. Come and be charmed!
Home was recently renovated, ask for a list of all of the home improvements! Flood insurance is approx. $2000/year, new elevation certificate from 2021. Harwood floors will get an additional coat of stain and poly after executed contract and staging furniture removed.
