About This Home
Set on the banks of Little Bay with stunning panoramic water views, this classic seaside shingle cottage offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in the beauty of the coast. With magnificent sunrises over the bay, direct ocean access from a deep-water dock, and a setting that feels like living on a boat, this cozy waterfront retreat is truly unique in design and function. Fish for striped bass from your own private dock, launch out for a day on the water, or simply take in the ever-changing views from the expansive waterside deck. Inside, bright, open living spaces are filled with natural light and designed to maximize the breathtaking views. Thoughtfully renovated over the past nine years, the 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends timeless coastal charm with refined modern updates and energy efficiencies. Original hardwood and wide pine floors, a dramatic cable rail stairway, built-in shelving in the library, office and bedrooms, and a woodstove in the living room create warmth and character throughout. The chef’s kitchen features a center island, quartz countertops and tiled backsplash and is well-appointed with Bosch refrigerator, dishwasher and wall ovens, and a Wolf 36” gas cooktop with Zephyr vent—ideal for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. Outdoor living is equally inviting with an additional large front deck for gatherings, a fenced courtyard entry, raised bed vegetable and herb gardens, mature perennial and specimen tree plantings, a 2-cord wood storage lean-to and a storage shed for tools and recreational equipment. When the grid goes dark, your Kohler whole-house generator takes over in seconds so you can relax, stay comfortable, and keep everything moving without missing a beat. Located in a wonderful neighborhood for walking and cycling, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of serene waterfront living, bright open interiors, and effortless coastal lifestyle. Public open houses: Fri & Sat 5/1 & 2, 12-2pm.
