Live the lifestyle-a fantastic condo alternative with zero HOA fees! This completely renovated with unique touches, 1916 Cape Cod offers water views AND a truly prime location just ONE HALF MILE from Guilford Green's charming shopping, fine dining of all types, and historic churches with scenic views of the West River and surrounding salt meadows. Inside light-filled spaces showcase the bright painted interiors and rich hardwood floors throughout. The expansive chef's kitchen features Soho gray quartz countertops, a double stainless steel farmer's sink and all stainless steel appliances. Relax in the sun-drenched four-seasoned sun room offering views south towards Long Island Sound. Both bathrooms have been exquisitely updated: the main-level bath boasts quartz counters, a vessel sink, and a custom finger tiled shower, while the upper-level bath features marble flooring, crisp subway tiles as well as a luxurious marble rain shower! Out back, enjoy a private firepit area, a very useable storage outbuilding and convenient rear parking. Major updates provide complete peace of mind, including a 6 month old state-of-the-art hot water furnace, three high-efficiency ductless mini-splits, connected city water, a clean open full basement and mostly new siding, roofs and gutters. This property has an excellent Airbnb record as an option but better yet move right in and enjoy turnkey coastal Connecticut living! An opportunity like this doesn't happen very often so don't wait.
