About This Home
As of March 2014Set atop a dramatic bluff overlooking Folly Point, at the end of a long private drive surrounded by sea on three sides, this classic Cape Cod-style seaside cottage offers an alluring combination of timeless natural beauty and expansion/development potential rarely found in today's market. The property is at once a magnificent retreat and an inviting beacon for gathering family and friends. The home exudes the romantic charm of its natural setting—elegantly carved wood panel doors, weathered hardwood floors, colorfully accented windows framing painterly vistas on all sides, and surprisingly spacious interior rooms opening onto sunny patios and sprawling terraces bordered by cut granite walls and landscaped gardens. From points throughout the house and grounds, the horizon seems limitless, stretching without obstruction toward Essex Bay, Cranes Beach, Hog Island, Isle of Shoals, the New Hampshire and Maine coastlines.
