Inside, the open living space is filled with natural light and warm cottage charm, with vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, and large picture windows that keep the water in view. The kitchen brings together charm and function with butcher block countertops, open shelving, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy dining nook that feels just right for morning coffee.
