Idyllic waterfront cottage: the perfect slice of coastal charm for year-round living or weekend getaways. All you need to do is unpack your bags and enjoy this move-in ready home on Blue Bill Cove in Island Park. Have a cup of coffee or a cocktail while enjoying the water views off your back deck. Or better yet, launch your kayaks right from your own property. This adorable New England home features a blend of historic detail and many recent updates, including a new half-bath off the second-floor bedroom, ductless A/C, and upgrades to the full bath on the main floor, both featuring tile floors with radiant heat and new fixtures. The home's septic is also a highly-efficient newer model. The kitchen has many upgrades, too, including new appliances, antique upper cabinets, and a custom butcher-block island. The fenced-in yard is low maintenance and features many well-established hydrangeas that bloom beautifully each year. In the summer, you can stroll or ride your bike to historic Flo's Clam Shack or Island Park Beach, or take easy, scenic drives into Bristol or Tiverton. In the winter, enjoy watching the loons and egrets on the cove out your windows while the baseboard heat and new electric fireplace keep things very cozy inside. The novelist who recently used the home to write calls it the perfect New England cottage on a cove! Now it's your turn to enjoy its charm.
