About This Home
Some homes are purchased with a checklist. This one is purchased with your heart. Tucked away on a private bluff overlooking the Pacific, this coastal cottage offers a setting that's nearly impossible to duplicate. Towering evergreens, panoramic ocean views, sunsets, and the sound of crashing waves create an atmosphere that feels worlds away, yet you're just minutes from Seabrook. A secluded trail winds through a coastal forest before opening onto miles of sandy beach just moments from your door. Whether you're watching storms roll in, spotting wildlife from the deck, or ending each evening with a spectacular sunset, this property offers an experience few homes can match. Originally built in 1942, the cedar-lined cottage has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its authentic character. Original cedar walls have been carefully restored with tung oil, creating warmth throughout. The spacious layout features an open great room centered around a freestanding propane fireplace, plus a versatile bonus room for guests, a home office, or reading retreat. Recent improvements include a tiled shower, refrigerator, microwave, sink, garbage disposal, water heater, updated electrical panel, generator wiring, and storm windows. Outside, enjoy a newly reconstructed ocean-view deck, multiple sitting areas, covered carport, grassy lawn, and low-maintenance landscaping. Zoned for nightly rentals, this is more than a beach cottage—it's a place that simply must be experienced in person.
