Located on Ledge Road with a gated entry and sweeping views of Bailey's Beach and the Cliff Walk the two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers harmonious blending of modern amenities and traditional elegance; each room with a wood burning fireplace. The dramatic private entrance to the second-floor landing leads past a well-equipped galley kitchen to the gracious living room / dining area enhanced with carved wood paneling and expansive ocean-facing windows. Evoking a bygone era while embracing contemporary comfort the original architectural details have been thoughtfully preserved lending authenticity and charm. This makes for a wonderful entertaining area or a cozy place to sit next to the fireplace.
