Where else can you get single level living and walk to the beach? Located at the end of Ridgewood road tucked up against the forest, number 19 is a quiet location but only 1,800 feet from Cape hedge/ Long Beach. The location has excellent livability. Halfway between Gloucester and Rockport town centers, you don't have to go far for beautiful coast line, dining, boating and night life. Many upgrades since the last purchase- new floors, finished basement, new deck and the addition of a mudroom porch near the driveway. Imagine driving home past the salt marsh and pulling in to the drive. Enter through the mudroom with storage for beach toys, hiking shoes, or boating equipment. Then in to the open concept kitchen and dining area. Make dinner in the spacious kitchen with new quartz countertops or call one of the many area restaurants. After dinner, walk down to the beach to catch the sunset, or curl up with a book by the wood stove. Stay cool or warm efficiently with the first floor heat pump. Retire to the first floor bedroom suite. Low step shower in the first floor bath. Catch the stars from the front deck and enjoy the peace and quite of living next to the forest. Upstairs is the spacious main bedroom- plenty of room, with double closets along one side. The upstairs bathroom features a new marble shower surround and tub. In the basement, make use of the workshop and the full door exterior access. Plenty of room for storage in the large laundry/ storage room. The den/ play room/ home gym or crafting area takes the majority of the space. Set up with a TV now, its the perfect spot to wind down and catch the game. Tesla solar panels take the edge off rising electric prices. Use the electric baseboard only where you need heat- or stock the wood stove to stay really toasty. Oil baseboard in the basement.
