Listing broker remarks

Padanaram Village - This absolutely enchanting cottage offers character and a prime locale in one of South Dartmouth’s most sought-after coastal communities. Set behind a mature privet hedge, the home feels like a secluded retreat just moments from Village shops, restaurants and the NBYC. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout the living spaces, complemented by period details including crown molding and built-in cabinetry. The single level floor plan includes a comfortable living room, dining room, remodeled galley kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a full bath. And just off the dining area is a set of sliders leading to a wooden deck overlooking an established and private L-shaped garden, creating a peaceful outdoor setting with a tucked-away feel. Additional features include a one-car detached garage and separate gravel driveway. This just may be the little piece of heaven you've been searching for!— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
