    What's special

    Nestled in the heart of Black Rock's coveted St. Mary's-by-the-Sea neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind coastal treasure offers breathtaking Ash Creek sunsets, water views, and exceptional privacy. Set on a deep, beautifully landscaped lot, the expansive backyard and gardens create a secluded retreat perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The welcoming front porch offers both sunny and shaded seating areas to enjoy throughout the day while taking in views of the Long Island Sound and tidal estuary. Inside, timeless charm blends seamlessly with modern comfort. The front-to-back living room features hardwood floors and a fireplace, while the formal dining room showcases built-ins, crown molding, and classic architectural details. The updated kitchen features fresh white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous prep space. A versatile first-floor family room offers flexibility for everyday living, guests, or a future main-level bedroom. Sliders open to the bluestone patio and private backyard oasis. Additional highlights include a three-season porch, central air, replacement windows, irrigation system, Trex porch decking, garden shed, and hardwood flooring throughout much of the home. A rare opportunity to enjoy the St. Mary's lifestyle with stunning sunsets, water views, walkability, character, and one of Black Rock's most enchanting settings.
