Rare opportunity to rent a furnished waterfront home in Southport from 12/15/23-4/30/2024. This charming, sprawling cape, on a bucolic 1+ acre property w/pond, has the best of both worlds. You experience a tranquil country lifestyle, yet you are only 5 minutes to 2 train stations, should the city beckon. You enter the driveway off a cul-de-sac, w/easy access to a quiet lane for bikes & trikes. The home has a sought after first floor primary bedroom/full bathroom. Two large bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom just upstairs from the primary bedroom. The living room w/fireplace, dining room & large sunroom w/wet bar, all have views of the gorgeous pastoral property & pond. The kitchen, open to the dining room, has granite counters, a pantry, & warm wood cabinets. Just off the kitchen is a convenient laundry closet, butlers pantry, powder room & office, a must have in this “work from home” era. This area has access to the garage, so could also function as a mudroom. The sunroom is the heart of the home, where you’ll love to sit & admire the view. Should you want a quiet space to watch tv, head up the stairs from here to a bonus room over the garage w/a vaulted ceiling. The outside continues to impress with a large flagstone patio. The location is ideal-a quick drive to 5 town beaches, 2 public golf courses, miles of hiking trails, and countless great restaurants. Welcome home!
