The essence of coastal charm is redefined in this three-bedroom cottage, nestled within the prestigious and highly sought-after community of Shelter Harbor. Boasting solid bones and timeless character, this residence offers a rare opportunity to elevate a classic space while preserving its authentic 1914 heritage. The property spans a quarter-acre, featuring a main house (1914) and a thoughtful 1968 addition. The primary residence has a gorgeous stone fireplace and includes three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, while the addition serves as a sun-drenched family room or office with a full bath all overlooking the water. Step out onto your private dock on Quonochontaug Pond, a 730-acre saltwater sanctuary with direct Atlantic access. Set sail from your backyard to Block Island, Watch Hill, or Montauk. Enjoy coveted parking privileges at Weekapaug Beach, community tennis, and a social atmosphere where "forever friends" are made. This is more than a home; it is a waterfront canvas awaiting your vision to create the ultimate Shelter Harbor paradise.
