About This Home

As of August 2025

PRIVATE AND PERFECT! Tucked away on a quiet lane with only two other houses is 44 East Wharf Rd, a charming oasis that's a short walk to both town and East Wharf Beach. The first floor includes a spacious, vaulted ceiling primary suite, a living room with wood burning fireplace, French doors leading to a large heated porch with a hip ceiling and a gas fireplace overlooking a gorgeous private yard bordered with stone wall. Both the primary bedroom and the porch overlook an in ground spa pool with bluestone patio and a professionally designed, irrigated yard with specimen trees and beautiful perennials. There also is a crisp white kitchen with high end appliances connecting to a dining area and a separate windowed sunroom/den with built-ins. The second floor has two inviting bedrooms and a full bath. There are beadboard touches, board and batten accents and ceiling beams providing texture and interest throughout. Separate from the house is a former 2 bay garage converted to an office which could also make an ideal studio or playhouse. Architectural sketches available for studio conversion to guest house with full bath. Additional features include a whole house generator, an on demand hot water heater for the house and a second one for the pool.
