Follow your bliss down the long private drive that leads to this lovely waterfront condominium estate. Sited on approximately two acres of cascading terraces that sweeps down to the water's edge and is lined with matures trees, boxwood hedges, and flower gardens. An original, restored gazebo and sweet footbridge, which leads to its own tiny island, add to the magical feeling of this property. Enjoy the simplicity of the one-level garden-unit residence open and bright with water views throughout of Green End Pond to Easton's Pond and beyond to the open ocean. This two-bedroom, two-bath unit was renovated in 2014 with a new kitchen and baths, but the original details and beautiful hardwood flooring of this once Gilded Age "summer cottage remain intact. A very special spot.
