An open, easy flow between the kitchen, living, and dining space-which features a cathedral ceiling-present ample possibilities for entertaining guests. A bonus room with two skylights adds extended use options perhaps to create tub/shower combo bathroom plus an outdoor shower. This one story cottage in the heart of Montauk on South Essex Street.
