Built in the late 1800s, this charming clapboard home is a rare blend of historic character and thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the warmth of a home that has been loved for generations. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, custom millwork, and architectural details you simply can't replicate today. Water views greet you from nearly every window, filling the home with natural light and a sense of calm. The formal living room invites quiet mornings, its bookcases lending an air of old-world charm perfect for the avid reader. The family room offers a cozier, sunlit gathering space, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the river beyond. The custom kitchen blends timeless character with modern function, while two spacious bedrooms and two full baths offer comfortable, updated living. A detached storage shed presents an easy opportunity to expand — imagine it reimagined as a third bedroom, studio, or guest retreat. Step outside to the true heart of this property: a screened gazebo overlooking the river, ideal for morning coffee, evening sunsets, launching kayaks, or simply savoring the sound of the water. With potential for a private dock, the possibilities for waterfront living are endless. Nestled in Morattico - a waterfront, golf-cart community where time seems to slow down - this home invites you to embrace long walks, sunny afternoons, quiet moments in nature, and the simple joy of relaxing on your own private gazebo. Here, life moves at the pace it was always meant to. Move in and enjoy a slice of heaven on earth!
