    Buttonwoods Beach Cottage on Leased Land: YEAR ROUND RESIDENCE, not just a "summer home". It is extremely rare for these year round cottages to come up for sale, having only 12 out of 118 that are on city water/sewer, insulated, suited and permitted by management for year round living. $414/month land lease. This land sits on the edge of Greenwich Bay and has been leased to the tenants for over 100 years., settled with the mission statement to provide working families with the opportunity to enjoy seaside life. A very strong right of first refusal (ROFR) contract is in place,; this is a legal clause that gives a specific party (in this case, the cottage owners) the first opportunity to buy the land before an offer to any third party. The association enjoys a warm relationship with the landowners and they have assured us repeatedly that they have no intention of selling the land, which I would frankly love to own. <3 This is a largely remodeled open floor plan stick built cottage (circa 1940), approx 550sf on leased land in the Old Buttonwoods area of Warwick.. There is an upper patio as well as a lower paver patio. Inside is a studio style bungalow where we have etched out different areas, including a home work station between the living room and bedroom areas. We have tried to update while still maintaining the vintage charm. The bay is a minute's walk away. There is a community hall (pictured) bustling with activities. During the active season (5/15-10/15), the association offers live music, frequent dances, professional DJs, bingo, game nights, card leagues, myriad food events and many other community happenings. From spring daffodils to autumn sunflowers, this is a gardener's dream cottage, a beach and nature lover's utopia. Here one can enjoy the beach, farm, forest and meadows and constant happenings in our community hall; a dreamy place to live with walking paths, a playground, volleyball court, horseshoe and bocce courts, swimming, beach walking and clamming. Autumn and winter are tranquil and quiet and the cottage is a wonderful place to nestle in while having so many quiet walking paths available to enjoy the seasonal changes. It is painful for us to give it up, but grandchildren call us far away and we simply must move on to our next chapter. We have lived here over 9 years and have put so much into this little cottage, from insulation to new ceilings and roofing and gutters, many new windows, flooring, new appliances, a bathroom do over, a brand new powerful all season mini split system, a gravel driveway and a complete landscaping makeover. This is a close, old fashioned, all ages neighborhood where families reside for many generations. Turnkey ready - from most all of the pictured furnishings (sans artwork) to lawnmower/beach bicycles/new Weber grill and outdoor furniture (sans garden statuary). Two sheds. This is an affordable, rare living experience that can't be beat, unless however, you have three grandchildren a world away <3. Inquiries should be made to Mitchell at: 717-343-9933 (seven one seven three four three nine nine three three). No realtors, renting or owner financing.
    What the owner loves about this home
    This isn't just a beach cottage, it's a life experience along Greenwich Bay where seasonal communities activities are many (from weekly bingo to live music and dances with professional DJs), the ability to experience nature (from saltwater to forest) is rare and the quiet privacy in winter is serene.
