About this home

Big things really do come in small packages ! The "Seashell Cottage" packs a punch . .whether its a year round home, a vacation spot or an investment property, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath well kept home works for all. The recently remodeled kitchen has quartzcountertop , subway backsplash w/ glass tile accents. The updated bathroom has a custom tiled shower . Everything from the wall colors to the window treatments have a relaxed , beachy feel. A full , dry basement is an excellent spot for storing items that wont fit in the backyard shed or finish it off for additional living space. The ultimate warm weather entertaining spot is the extra large backyard deck. Relax on the deck after a day at the beach have a rinse in the outdoor shower and look onto the back yard garden beds that are not only pretty but act as a wonderful rear buffer . New replacement windows and storm doors help w/ heating costs. Located in the Ocean Ridge Association neighborhood, enjoy access to Green Hill Pond and the association pavilion and kayak rack. Minutes to ocean beaches and area restaurants , cant ask for much more !
