Watch the sunrise in the mornings from your covered porch. The sunken deck makes a great dining area to entertain friends and family. Don't forget the hot tub also on the deck! The deck wraps around the house for easy access to all entry points. Enter into the family room from the back of the home and take in the cathedral ceiling and a wood stove to heat in the winter and the fantastic views from the wall of windows. The kitchen has an eat in breakfast bar! On the main level are two bedrooms. But going upstairs to the main bedroom is a true joy. The walls of windows here, with sitting nook, makes a great reading spot. The bathroom has it's own soaking tub and there is a separate office room on this level. Outside there is a large shed for a workshop with electricity. A horseshoe pit with a small cubby with electricity, maybe for lights on those night games? Near the house is a level firepit area for cooking s'mores. Rattlesnake Island is an association island with fantastic hiking trails. The association has a pick up/drop off dock on the mainland along with two parking areas. A Minge Cove boat slip could also be purchased for extra monies. Town has it as 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.
