Beautifully sited Saltbox enjoys a superior position at the crest of the hill overlooking rolling lawns and Pleasant Bay. Long a familiar silhouette with its adjacent shingled tower against the Orleans skyline, the Johnson property is a beloved landmark. The familiar red house presents traditional 8 over 12 windows, dentil molding and cedar roofing. Step back in time. A gracious gathering room spans 42 feet and features three bay windows and a wood burning fireplace. A host of stunning quilts, hooked rugs and needlepoint have been created here for six decades. Farmhouse kitchen invites drop-in guests. Oversized greenhouse/sunroom with historic reclaimed brick flooring, faces the beautiful bay. Charming gardens. Enjoy deeded rights to the sandy beach, water sports and lovely views. A true gem.
