*if inclined to drive by, please be mindful of the neighboring properties, and their driveways. Dead end road with very little space to turn around* House is firmly under contract while waiting for the seller to find their next home. Charming, waterfront, treehouse-like, retreat on the Menunketesuck River. Discover the perfect river front getaway in this bright and inviting one-bedroom home in the popular beach town of Westbrook. Steps from your front door, paddle through the tranquil waters of the river flowing through the McKinney National Wildlife Refuge and Goodwin Marsh Nature Conservancy-a breathtaking 5-mile round-trip by canoe or kayak (sourced from bostonkayaker) that leads all the way to the Long Island Sound. Designed with an open, airy floor plan, this efficient home features hardwood floors, a recently updated kitchen, and a cozy sunporch that captures stunning year-round views. Expansive windows fill every room with natural light and frame the ever-changing beauty of the surrounding landscape. Located on a quiet dead-end street, this property offers exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, and water access for canoes, kayaks, and small watercraft. Whether you're seeking a serene weekend escape, a nature lover's haven, or a low-maintenance full-time residence, this charming waterfront home delivers peace, simplicity, and unmatched natural beauty. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services site: "Salt Meadow, Westbrook: Paddling along Westbrook's Menunketesuck River in late spring or summer provides great views of the refuge's Salt Meadow Unit and marsh birds like egrets, ibises, willets, herons, kingfisher and osprey. In fall, the paddle is absolutely beautiful, and it allows visitors to see foliage in every shade of red, orange yellow and brown. Bald eagles frequent the area and can be seen at any time of year." There is public access for kayaks and canoes within walking distance, however, this property has the potential for the new owner to install a dock with proper DEP approvals. High tide provides easy access from the property's frontage. As a resident of Westbrook, you have rights to the town's public beach which can also be accessed from the river by your watercraft. Property is fully fenced in. There is also an outdoor enclosed shower with hot and cold water. Seller pays approximately $290/month for all utilities including water, trash, electric, and cable.
