About this home

If you're looking for a place that feels like home the minute you walk through the door, this cozy cottage sitting high and dry above the banks of Morang Cove may be just what you've been looking for. Set on 1.63 acres, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds that have clearly been loved and enjoyed over the years. There's a little bit of everything here — a grape arbor, fruit trees, beach roses, perennial and annual gardens, and vegetable gardens waiting for the gardener in the family. Out back, two charming rock ponds add the sound of gently trickling water and are surrounded by even more perennial plantings. It's the kind of yard where you can wander around with your morning coffee and always find something new in bloom. The cottage itself has an interesting history. It started out as a simple one-room camp and has been expanded in two stages, eventually becoming the comfortable and surprisingly spacious home you see today. Come inside and you'll immediately notice how bright, open, and welcoming the great room is. There's a cozy dining area on the left, and just beyond it, a wonderful custom kitchen that was obviously designed by someone who loves to cook. And what a kitchen it is! Every bit of space has been put to good use. There are pull-out shelves, deep drawers for pots and pans, corner pull-outs that let you actually reach those far corners, and handy spice drawers. Everything has its place and is right where you need it. The marble countertops provide plenty of room for preparing meals — and would be perfect for rolling out bread or making a pie. The deep country sink is both practical and charming, and the matching Samsung appliances are relatively new and include a gas range, French-door refrigerator and quiet dishwasher. There's even a built-in compost pot right in the countertop, making it easy to scrape those vegetable peelings and kitchen scraps into the compost container before taking them outside.
