Description

This quintessential Sconset cottage on an oversize lot is just minutes away from Main Street, the Sconset Market, the Cafe and Sconset Casino. The well maintained home includes a large primary suite, two off street parking spaces, a beautiful, mature garden, outdoor shower and a hedged in private side yard with a brick patio and pergola; ideal for entertaining and warm summer evenings. It is in close proximity to the quiet village with views of the ocean and beyond, as well as the Sconset Bluff path. The beach is just minutes away, either by public beach stairs or a short distance to Codfish Park access and parking. This is a charming home and would be a great rental income producing property. True Sconset summer living at its best!
