Steps to the Beach - Updated Westbrook Cape Cod Bungalow A rare find in an unbeatable location, this tastefully updated Cape sits on a corner lot just steps from the beach. A beautifully landscaped corner yard with mature plantings welcomes you to this stunning terracotta-hued Cape. You enter through a large, cathedral-ceilinged, year-round sunroom, a bright retreat for summer living and, thanks to a high-end propane heater, a cozy escape all winter long. Motorized custom blinds offer both sun protection and privacy. The oversized living room delivers old-world seaside charm, with beautiful ceramic tile, rustic walls, and a gas-fired stone fireplace that anchors the space, keeping you warm on chilly nights while making a striking design statement. The large dining room suits everything from big family gatherings to intimate dinners, offering great flexibility and its own access to the sunroom. The updated eat-in kitchen features all-new stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, generous storage, and ample prep space. This space also greets with a large wood fired stone fireplace. Off the mudroom is a thoughtfully designed office/library - ideal for working from home, homework, or crafting. Built-ins add both charm and function, with a second desk area and extra storage. This space could also be incorporated into an expanded primary bedroom suite. A nicely updated bathroom with a walk-in shower, plus a laundry area, completes the main level. An oak spiral staircase leads to the second level, with two bedrooms and storage offering extra sleeping space for family and friends visiting the Connecticut shoreline. The room currently used for storage is already plumbed for a full bathroom, add a dormer, and the second level is complete. The crawl space houses a brand-new high end Buderus furnace and offers additional storage for kayaks and summer furniture. Outside, enjoy even more entertaining space, a shed for gardening needs, a large back entrance area, and a three-car driveway. The current owner did get town hall approvals to add another level to the home, many years ago, so that potential exists, but new buyers must do they own research with town hall for this update. Don't wait to preview this shoreline property it won't last. There is an association $65/year, but not membership not mandatory . Beach access is down Brookside to Salt Island Rd - follow that to the very end - Middle Beach - Point of reference - Waters' Edge would be to your left.
