Set in the private, waterfront community of the Mere Point Colony at the southern tip of the peninsula, this classic, 1880 vintage cottage comes to the open market for the first time in its long history. The cottage invites you in for a tour of the initial reason this neighborhood was created-summer fun and relaxation! The south-facing sunporch, both open and enclosed, is an invitation to just sit for a while. The living room features its lofty & exposed beam ceiling, brick fireplace, wood floors and is perfect for entertaining family and friends. Built-in corner cabinets frame the dining area, and the walk-through pantry leads to the fully-applianced kitchen. 3 bedrooms, 1&1/2 baths plus 3 additional rooms complete the picture. Centered in the middle of the colony, the cottage does enjoy modest water views of Mere Point Bay and is located within a short walk to both the common southernmost tip of the peninsula as well as to the common dock. Take advantage of the common deepwater dock, tennis & pickleball courts and other social events with a separate membership in the Mere Point Yacht Club. With over half a mile of commonly owned water frontage, the Mere Point Colony is truly a special place to be!
