Coastal cottage charm meets modern comfort in the heart of Manchester-by-the-Sea! Brimming with character and thoughtfully updated throughout, this inviting 3 bed, 2 bath home offers the perfect blend of classic New England appeal and easy, everyday living. A beautifully renovated kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a center island flows seamlessly into the dining area, while the sun-filled living room offers a warm and welcoming retreat. A dedicated home office provides flexibility for today's lifestyle, and a delightful three-season porch invites you to relax and unwind. Hardwood floors, tasteful finishes, and abundant natural light add to the home's appeal. Outside, an exceptionally spacious backyard offers endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, recreation, or future expansion. All this in a prime location just moments from Manchester's charming village, schools, parks, shops, restaurants, and commuter rail. A rare opportunity to enjoy coastal village living with room to grow!
