This unique expanded Cape cottage sits on a dead-end street atop Swifts Neck, overlooking a peaceful tidal marsh providing waterfront views at high tide, with nearby water views of the Wareham River/ Buzzards Bay, and just a 5-minute walk to Swifts Beach. The original three-season cottage was completely renovated, and nearly doubled in size in 2019 with the addition of an open, airy, second floor featuring a great room, sitting area, bedroom, office, and a bathroom with a spacious tile and glass shower. Great care was taken to preserve the charming cottage details on the first floor during the renovation while upgrading all plumbing, electrical, insulation, and replacing most windows. It features a spacious main bedroom, guest bedroom, and bathroom, an eat-in kitchen with a new refrigerator and microwave/range hood, and dishwasher, a gas stove and pantry storage, with a pass-through window providing expansive views of the marsh through the cozy living room, and a sitting room that opens out onto the deck. Windows line the front and back of the house on both levels filling the space with sunlight, water views, and ocean breezes. This is a work-from-home house, with a dedicated office upstairs wired for easy connectivity to cable and WiFi service. Upgrades made during the renovation include new cedar shingle siding, insulation, drywall, upgraded electrical service and wiring, high-efficiency windows, new roof, gutters, radiant baseboard heating on both levels, gas wall heaters on both floors, hard-wired smoke/carbon monoxide alarms in every living space, a whole-house water purification system, mini split heating/AC units on both levels, and all new plumbing throughout with Pex piping. A new Amish-made 10’ x 12’ deluxe shed with loft provides ample storage. You’ll enjoy the convenience and reliability of town water, sewer, and Eversource natural gas. The large unfinished basement has a workshop, laundry with a new washer and dryer, and it is dry, dry, dry! The Cottage sits on a double lot, with mature shade trees and plants, two lovely gardens, and charming white picket fences in front. A completely fenced yard, makes the property is ideal for pets and children. A deck and stone patio provide space for entertaining, and the spacious outside shower is a tranquil and private oasis. The Cottage is conveniently located near shopping and restaurants on route 6 but does not get the traffic noise from the highways. This is a serene atmosphere that relaxes and rejuvenates. You won’t want to leave. Note: The current Zillow algorithm-generated estimate is based on the value of the original three season cottage BEFORE the second floor was added and renovations were made (see photos for before picture).

What the seller loves about this home

Cool ocean breezes and no mosquitos. The quiet dead-end street is so tranquil. This is like a Garden of Eden, set atop conservation land and a bird sanctuary. It is a year round vacation home. I love that at high tide there is an expansive, shallow saltwater pond in the back, but at low tide, it is a lovely green of sea grasses. This is bliss.
