About This Home
Welcome to your perfect summer sanctuary in the heart of New Castle, NH—where coastal charm, timeless character, and a front-row seat to the Piscataqua River come together in one unforgettable setting. Tucked away on a quiet side street, this delightful antique cottage is designed for those who dream of effortless summer living by the sea. While fully equipped for year-round comfort, the home truly shines as a seasonal retreat—offering a slower pace, a stronger connection to nature, and the kind of breezy, sun-soaked lifestyle that makes summer on the coast so special. From the moment you step onto the screened porch, you’ll feel the magic of the season—ocean breezes, river views, and the gentle rhythm of boats drifting by. This home is just a short walk to New Castle Beach, Great Island Common, the Islander Cafe, and other local favorites, making it the ultimate summer escape. Inside, the cottage radiates warmth and history with wide pine floors, bulls-eye glass accents, and sun-filled rooms that capture the beauty of the coast. With three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, there’s plenty of room for family and guests to enjoy long summer stays.The full attic and basement provide ample storage for beach gear and seasonal essentials, and the backyard features a rare piece of local history: New Castle’s only remaining Fish House. Whether you're looking for a summer getaway or a year-round haven with seasonal flair, this coastal cottage offers the best of both worlds.
