## Description

### Agent Description
If you are looking for the quintessential New England shingled home with mesmerizing, unobstructed, direct water views - you have just found it! Located in the sidewalk-lined Short Beach community, this home has a deeded fractional interest in waterfront land directly across the street for beach access. Open 1st-floor layout is sun-drenched, featuring numerous sliders that effortlessly blends indoor & outdoor living. Living room has a newer gas fireplace adding a warm ambiance for the cooler months. Combined dining room & living room spill open to an expansive wrap-around deck w/ captivating vistas, elevating outdoor entertaining to a new level. The tastefully remodeled kitchen boasts spectacular natural quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry and a large, functional pantry. Sweetly remodeled powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, retreat to the expansive primary suite featuring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, a walk-in closet, and its own private deck -the perfect spot to savor morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. The primary bath is enhanced w/ a dual-sink vanity and a jacuzzi tub/shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full guest bath & dedicated laundry area complete the 2nd level. A detached, one-car garage with storage above adds to the convenience of this special property. With deeded beach rights, smart updates and a vibrant neighborhood, this is a truly special shoreline home.
