Coastal Paradise in the Heart of Madison! Welcome to one of Madison's most desirable shoreline beach communities, where coastal charm, breathtaking views, and endless outdoor recreation come together to create the perfect seaside retreat. This delightful cottage offers spectacular views of Fence Creek Salt Marsh and a glimpse of Long Island Sound. Kayak or paddleboard from the beach one block away (or directly from the back yard at high tide), enjoy morning walks along the ocean, stroll into town for coffee, and embrace the relaxed Connecticut shoreline lifestyle. Inside, this charming home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 3 additional rooms that capture the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Large windows invite natural light and showcase the stunning marsh vistas. The deck is ideal for entertaining or simply unwinding while taking in the abundant bird life. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower. Central air conditioning and heat offer three-season living, with the potential for winterization. Its location, just 3/4 of a mile from Madison's vibrant downtown, provides easy access to charming shops (including a renowned bookstore), restaurants, movie theater and library. Ideally situated between New York City and Boston, and approximately one hour from Rhode Island, rarely does an opportunity arise to own a waterfront-adjacent cottage in such a coveted Madison location. Come experience the beauty, tranquility, and timeless appeal of Shoreline Living.
