Private Showings Only! Quintessential cottage by the sea, protected by the first row of houses yet boasting views of the ocean and deeded water access. The wrap around porch welcomes you to fully exhale the stress of the day and inhale the sweet salt air while watching seagulls dive for their dinner and fly into the sunset. Enter into the light and bright, open concept living area featuring lovely hardwood floors through out, and plenty of windows to enjoy the sounds and smells of the ocean breeze and natural surroundings. Featuring a wood burning fireplace, updated galley style kitchen with breakfast nook, half bath and access to the wrap around porch from both ends of the house. The space is comfortable and cozy. Stay cool in the shade of the covered area of the porch or bask in the sun on the deck over looking spectacular plantings bringing butterflies and birds, enhancing the serenity of the yard where your own garden awaits with fresh herbs and veggies to complement your next culinary creation! Plenty of storage for your outdoor furniture, or watercraft in the basement which offers a large work bench and garage door for easy access. Stroll down the street at high tide and put in your kayak or take a refreshing dip in the healing salt water. There's so much to enjoy at this year round Wheeler point gem!
