''Le Zephyr'' cottage on Moody Beach has been enjoyed by the same family for the past 100 years! This timeless Bungalow Style home is an architectural delight and is located at the desirable southern end of Moody. An ideal property for extended family and friends. Fantastic living/dining room combination space with captivating views from York to Kennebunkport. A very functional kitchen along with a bedroom and a full bath complete the first floor. The remaining four bedrooms are on the second floor and each offer an ocean or marsh view. The full walkout basement has two finished rooms with another full bath along with plenty of storage. The updating over the years make this property move-in condition and ready for your enjoyment. Replacement windows, new vinyl siding and newer roof make for a low maintenance exterior. The outdoor space with two awesome covered porches makes it easy to take a break from the beach and relax out of the sun or still enjoy being outside on a rainy day with a good book. Expansive lot with 65 feet of road frontage and plenty of parking for several cars. Walk the beach all the way to Ogunquit from your doorstep. Drop your kayak into the Ogunquit River just a few hundred feet from the property. Just 20 minutes to the Kennebunks and less than 10 minutes to Ogunquit Square. Interstate 95 and the Amtrak train to Boston are only a few miles away. Fine and casual dining is just minutes away as are the area's many shops, galleries and recreation. Enjoy this fabulous property yourself or should you decide to rent the income can't be beat. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity! The property can't close until 10/15/2021
