CLASSIC SHELTER ISLAND WATERFRONT BEACH COTTAGE

On the south side of Shelter Island, this classic waterfront beach cottage is set on 1.3 acres with approximately 375+/- feet of sandy shoreline. Approaching the house, salt breezes drift through thoughtfully designed meditation and outdoor dining areas tucked beneath hardy cedar trees. Nearby, a pair of Adirondack chairs beside a kayak invite quiet mornings on the water or an afternoon paddle along the shoreline. Built in 1940, the cottage retains much of its original character while benefiting from careful updates over the years. Beyond the entry foyer, a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace opens through a wide cased opening to a light-filled den overlooking the water. The formal dining room enjoys equally captivating vistas and flows into an efficiently designed kitchen renovated in 2017. Situated off the foyer is the en-suite primary bedroom, while two guest bedrooms occupy the opposite wing of the home, including one with sweeping water views. A detached one-car garage also provides an ideal summer office or artist studio. Central air conditioning and attentive stewardship have ensured the property remain in excellent condition. On the western side of the property, steps descend to the beach where a kayak rack awaits. From there, a shoreline path winds south to a broad stretch of sandy beach, creating an ever-changing backdrop for swimming, kayaking, beachcombing, or simply enjoying the waterfront throughout the day. Rarely does a property combine such an inviting natural setting, vintage seaside charm, and generous shoreline in one offering.
