LOCATION! LOCATION!  City Island Rare opportunity to own this Charming updated cottage with vaulted ceilings and unobstructed water view from the living room and the large front deck. This home is steps away from a private beach reserved for block residents, great for swimming, kayaking, or just watching the sailboats go by as you sip a glass of wine watching the sun setting over Manhattan from the front deck.  The open plan layout with soring vaulted ceiling makes space feels much larger.  The spacious eat-in kitchen has a new dishwasher and quartz countertops open to another sun-filled deck out back that overlooks a shared lawn area that can never be built. There are two sleep areas-- the main floor bedroom and a lofted guest room.  Updates include renovated bathroom and a new efficient tankless gas hot-water system supplying heat and hot water. Washer & Dryer hook up.  Conveniently located to many of the Island's seafood restaurants, shops, horseback riding, bike trails, and to public transportation to NYC. Taxes do not reflect NY STAR exemption.
