Classic 4 BR Cottage near Crescent Beach

A magnificent "L" shaped screened-in porch runs across the front and down half of one side of this charming cottage-style home. The porch has mahogany flooring and ceiling fans, making it both beautiful and comfortable. The house was built in the 1930's and is very solid. The entire house was modernized and winterized in the late 1980's, and the first floor has since been completely redone. The living room is large and airy with French doors that open to the porch, as well as a fireplace. The wall-to-wall carpeting was installed in June 2007. Across the back of the house there is a large dining room, a bathroom, and a fully renovated kitchen with lots of counter space. The dining room and kitchen have gleaming mahogany floors, and both have glass doors opening to the brick patio that runs across the back of the house and halfway down one of the sides. The second floor has four bedrooms and the second bath. There is a full attic and a whole-house fan.

The porch was rebuilt in 2002, and extensive renovations were done in 2004. Also in 2004, the roof was replaced.The oil tank was replaced in 2002, and the furnace in 2006. The house has oil heat. The oil tank and furnace are located in the crawlspace basement. The house is located one and a half blocks from one of the two beaches in the Crescent Beach Association, about a three-minute walk. The second/main beach is about three blocks away in the other direction or is most often reached by the footpath along a beautiful bluff from the closer beach. The main beach has a raft, lifeguard, and snack-bar.
