Property Description

Fall in love with this charming vintage bungalow nestled along the marsh, where privacy, character, and natural beauty create a peaceful retreat that feels far removed from the everyday. While a few finishing touches remain, many of the home's most important updates have already been completed. Recent improvements include a fully renovated kitchen and laundry room (2020), a new 30-year architectural roof installed in May 2021, and central heating and air conditioning added for year-round comfort. Set on a spacious half-acre lot with picturesque river and marsh views, the property offers a peaceful setting frequented by waterfowl, deer, and foxes. A detached garage/workshop provides space for hobbies, storage, or projects. Rich in character, this bungalow features many original architectural details that have been thoughtfully preserved, showcasing its charm and craftsmanship. With updates already in place, this is a rare opportunity to create the marshside retreat you've always envisioned!
