Don’t miss this exceptional chance to acquire a waterfront property (across from Linden Ave)! Elevated above the flood zone, no flood insurance is necessary. This iconic Victorian, established in 1875, rests on 1.18 acres with a beautiful in-ground pool and cabanas. Just 15 minutes from New Haven and under a two-hour drive to New York City. While the property requires some renovation, its solid structure offers a fantastic opportunity for restoration. With its seaside location and mature gardens, including an orchard with apple, peach, plum, and cherry trees, plus an herb garden and two berry patches, this property is truly special. Take a stroll along the sandy beach to visit the Owenego Beach & Tennis Club or enjoy access to other nearby beaches and swimming spots equipped with floats, a diving board, and kayak racks.
The gardens offer a serene retreat, allowing homeowners to experience two distinct environments. Admire the views of the Thimble Islands from the wrap-around porch while enjoying the sea breeze. Alternatively, unwind in the tranquil back garden, filled with the delightful sounds of bird songs. The beaches are just a short walk away. This home features 6-7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The pool was revamped in 2015, and the kitchen was custom-designed with cherry cabinets and Stony Creek granite in 2016. The pool house, which includes changing areas, showers, a bathroom, and a mini-kitchen, underwent renovations in 2020. There’s ample space available for creating a tennis court or building a guest cottage.
