Welcome to Heron House, a serene Cape Cod cottage nestled on the tranquil shores of Free School Creek. Imagine waking up to the soft light filtering through the trees, where two blue herons, Isabel and Hugo, grace the water's edge. This home invites you to enjoy the calm of nature, with a state-of-the-art kitchen boasting quartz countertops and a Verona gas range, perfect for morning coffee with a view. The sunroom and waterside patio offer a peaceful retreat for birdwatching and quiet reflection. The primary bedroom downstairs promises restful nights, while upstairs, two bedrooms and an office space offer comfort and versatility. The detached garage, currently a home theater, holds endless possibilities. Wired for an electric car charger and featuring a whole-house generator and water softener, Heron House is a sanctuary for those who cherish the beauty and peace of waterfront living.
