This classic home commands 27,500 sf of prime oceanfront land, perched atop a grassy bluff with spectacularly panoramic views of Wingaersheek Beach, Crane Beach and the blue Atlantic. The property embodies the timeless charm of its maritime setting, with windows framing painterly vistas on all sides, spacious interior rooms opening onto covered decks and porches, private patios, sunny gardens and sprawling manicured lawns. A lovely oceanfacing pool offers respite from summer heat, and on soft evenings you can retreat to weathered Adirondacks at the edge of the lawn with a cold drink and gaze out on the colorful parade of lobster boats, sailboats and pleasure craft wending their way along the coast. Upstairs offers a private getaway with full bath, balcony and ocean views, which can be used as an office, studio or guest suite.
