There is access to a beach ideal for launching a kayak, paddle board or small boat. Renovated in 2008 with a new roof, electrical and shingle siding. The present owners have recently added a split a/c unit, freshly painted the interior, replaced all recessed lighting, and refinished the hardwood floors.

There is an adorable library nook with built in seating and french doors leading to the "garden room" First floor bedroom and full bathroom, plus a separate den/office. The Master ensuite encompasses the entire second floor and has expansive water views. Sweet back yard has both potting and garden sheds and a patio to enjoy the sunsets .
