Conveniently located between the back shore and ''down front,'' this exquisitely preserved 2 BR, 1 BA cottage is a short stroll to beaches, shops, and the ferry landing. Aptly named ''High Point,'' the cottage is perched atop a gorgeous knoll overlooking a carpet of lawn so unaltered it takes us back in time. Retaining its classic, circa 1920 characteristics, the 2-story cottage also boasts numerous important updates (see or request list) - and an unexpected view of the water. Bordered with stone walls and granite curbing, the brand new, oversized paver driveway serves double duty as a gorgeous patio. The cottage may be enjoyed seasonally, April thru mid-October. And if you are seeking a 4-season option, the terraced double lot, with frontage on two roads, offers exciting possibilities. The cheerful interior features a bank of windows, fir flooring, painted and natural wood walls & ceilings, access to a lovely deck. Other features include a flagpole, fir flooring, public water & sewer. The home is an absolute GEM whose charm and attractive price point will undoubtedly capture hearts.
