About this home

How would you like to sit on your farmers porch over looking your 307' of frontage on the banks of the Merrimac River? At low tide you have a sandy beach. Electricity is on the river side as well. One floor open concept living allows plenty of views of the river, beautiful gardens, and a two car detached garage with workshop. Brand new 3 bedroom septic could allow for future expansion, new ac unit, new water heater, freshly painted, new roof in 2012 and a freshly hot topped driveway. Stone patio in the back of the home surrounded by beautiful gardens and tons of privacy. Do not let this one get away. Schedule your private showing today. Can close quickly.
