Walk to Jennings Marina & Beach from this location with views of LI Sound. The charm & character of this 1929 English colonial is evident around every corner: high ceilings, curved archways, deep moldings, storybook alcoves, FP and built-ins. A brand new EIK features white cabinetry, quartz countertop, center island, subway tiled backsplash, SS appliances, plenty of cabinetry & storage, Powder Room, dining area & sliders to a deck overlooking Ash Creek. A center hall leads to sun drenched LR with FP & adjacent office/den. DR with sliders also leads to rear deck, making entertaining in warmer months a cinch with this open floor plan to the deck. Second level offers 3 BRs & full bath. The MasterBR is quite spacious & has potential for MBA. Windows overlooking the tidal waters of Ash Creek & LI Sound in the distance will ensure a peaceful night's sleep. A large walk in closet can be repurposed to create new MBA & still keep a w/i closet. Ask agent for details. A walk up attic is full ceiling height. Great storage and expansion potential to afford LI Sound views. A breezeway with mudroom closet connects the garage to the kitchen & basement. There is expansion potential with this home but buyer must do own due diligence. New or newer windows, new kitchen, mid cycle on a 40yr roof, newer CAC, gas furnace with tankless hot water heater. This home has been lovingly maintained & updated. A rare find in the beach area.
