About This Home

PRIVACY, VIEWS AND ONE LEVEL LIVING. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in highly desirable Sachem's Head, this charming property captures breathtaking views of the marshlands and Sachems Head harbor. The home, extensively renovated by renown housewright Skip Broom, has an impressive vaulted ceiling living room with a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful oak bookcases and opens to a spacious dining room. Both rooms have access to a large, recently updated deck, perfect for entertaining or simply taking in the expansive scenery. This level also features three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a bathroom, abundant closet space and a private balcony overlooking the view. The other two bedrooms - one currently used as a den/office - share a full family bath. An eat-in kitchen and a separate laundry room complete this level making it ideal for easy one floor living. On the lower level, a guest suite has its own living room with fireplace, a full bath, a room for overflow guests and access to an outdoor sitting area. There's also an attached two car garage with ample storage space.
