About This Home
Rocky Nook's coastal charm shines in this inviting year-round cottage, ideally set on a quiet dead-end street just steps from the bay. The screened front porch is the heart of the home—an especially peaceful place to enjoy ocean breezes, water views, morning coffee, and summer evenings. Inside, the open floor plan offers easy, comfortable living, with a warm wood stove in the living room and a thoughtfully updated kitchen featuring soapstone counters and a vintage-style sink cabinet. The renovated bath includes a tiled shower. A first-floor bedroom adds flexibility, while two additional bedrooms are located upstairs. The home has been lifted to provide a full basement with washer/dryer hookups, an oversized access door, and excellent storage for beach gear and more. Town sewer, a new electrical panel and wiring, plus a rear porch/mudroom area add everyday convenience. Gray's Beach is just minutes away, with a sandy beach, playground, tennis, and basketball. A special Rocky Nook retreat where relaxed seaside living begins right at your front porch.
