Nature-Lovers Paradise! Built in 1789, Sunset Cottage (aptly named for the stunning sunset views) is an enchanting and private respite from the world. This traditional south-facing Cape Cod has been lovingly restored and updated but maintains the quaint features of a cottage built the year George Washington was inaugurated! The recently renovated eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry, overhead ceiling fans, and a mini-split HVAC unit. A wall of windows overlooking the backyard, a cathedral ceiling and easy access to the deck make this space perfect for entertaining. Additional updates include, but are not limited to, electric, plumbing, heating system, roof, gas fireplace and structure (2002-2005). View wildlife-- deer, fox and birds-- from your private deck and 2nd story balcony that overlooks 4+ acres in the charming Historical District of North Wading River. Grow plants and vegetables in your greenhouse and raised garden beds. Enjoy an outdoor shower after a day at the beach or hike the surrounding adjacent 200 acres of wetlands and nature trails. Relax under the stars in your hot tub! The property extends to the middle of Wading River Creek with Riparian Rights. Kayak/Canoe access to LI Sound tide levels permitting. Skeet shoot or hunt on your own land in season. Shoreham-Wading River SD. Taxes with STAR $8759.56, Additional information: Appearance:Mint,Location Features:Protected Wetland
