Description

Nestled invitingly at water’s edge at the end of a crushed stone drive, with only the ocean-tumbled rocks of Pigeon Cove harbor in view and the glittering Atlantic beyond, this perfectly scaled mini-compound supports downsizing by the sea without sacrifice. Completely renovated in 2013, the main cottage is spacious and light-filled with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, while a separate sleep cabin with full bath (now used as a home office) accommodates guests in a private and equally desirable setting....Nestled invitingly at water’s edge at the end of a crushed stone drive, with only the ocean-tumbled rocks of Pigeon Cove harbor in view and the glittering Atlantic beyond, this perfectly scaled mini-compound supports downsizing by the sea without sacrifice. Completely renovated in 2013, the main cottage is spacious and light-filled with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, while a separate sleep cabin with full bath (now used as a home office) accommodates guests in a private and equally desirable setting. The tiered design minimizes the demands of homeownership, while state-of-the-art systems and stylish appointments create an environment of convenience and luxury. A large deck with steel cable allows for quiet observation of passing lobster boats and yachts or generous entertaining on warm nights, while a garden/storage shed and meadow beckon to gardening enthusiasts. With ample off-street parking and town water & sewer, there is nothing this property lacks but you.
