Are you looking for a reprieve from the demands of the work week? A place to get away to and reconnect with family, friends, perhaps even yourself? Cottages evoke in us feelings of contentment and well-being because they enable us to see ourselves as we used to be, before our lives and the world around us became so fast-paced and overrun with details. Few other cottages, however, will perform this ''cottage therapy'' as effectively (dare I say, swiftly?) as 5 Swift Rd. Beautifully conceived and renovated to retain its original character while improving all that is good to a very high standard, this 2BR/1.5BA year-round cottage is farmer's market fresh yet feels as comfortable and familiar as a pair of stone-washed jeans. You've heard the old real estate mantra and this property delivers, just .4 miles to an association Bayside beach and .5 miles to the clear, fresh waters of Wiley Park and Great Pond. The interior is a lesson in Big Thinking in modest spaces with vaulted pine ceilings, a bonus sleeping/storage loft, and a litany of the most requested upgrades, including: ductless AC/heat system; new kitchen with recessed lighting, marble counters & propane gas range; hard pine flooring; a full-sized bath w/tile shower and floors; 1/2 bath with pedestal sink; Rinnai tankless hot water system; stack washer/dryer; Harvey insulated windows; new siding w/Azek trim boards; new 30-year roof; Azek decking front & back to either indulge in or escape the sun's rays, and a cedar outside shower for that authentic Cape Cod experience. Would make a great rental investment property. A new Title 5 septic was installed in 2015. Sited on a wooded & fenced 1/2 acre lot offering both privacy and care-free, low maintenance living. Nothing left but to focus on the truly important things in your life. Act now!
It has been said that a property isn't truly your own until you've put yourself into it. Buying it is not enough - you've merely bought someone else's property. It takes the investment of your time, energy and ideas to truly make it your own. Here, then, is an opportunity to leave your mark on this wonderful part of the world and create something that is a genuine reflection of who you are... And while this transformation is taking place, don't forget to saunter off to the Bay via ASSOCIATION BEACH RIGHTS, just 1/3 of a mile away. Or, go for a clean rinse at Great Pond, just 1/2 mile away. 2BR/1BA on a level, wooded lot. Seller to design Title 5 septic; buyer to install. Being sold in as-is condition. A must see!!
