A large deck and stone terrace provide for outdoor entertaining or enjoying the stars around the fire. The high-end kitchen features a Quartzite center island, custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, and a wine fridge. The first-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary with a wraparound deck, bath with jetted tub, and adjoining walk-in closet.  Additional highlights include a cozy study with fireplace, a light-filled four-season solarium, and two spacious guest bedrooms.

A two-car garage and basement storage bay offer plenty of space for all of your recreational toys. Easy access to dining at Pepperrell Cove, Kittery Foreside, and the vibrant city of Portsmouth, with Boston only 60 miles away.  Experience year-round coastal bliss in this one-of-a-kind home.
