About This Home

Charming seaside cottage within walking distance to the ferry so you are able to walk on the ferry instead of taking your car when needed. Only two bedrooms but plenty of room with a double wing layout keeping the primary bedroom on one end with sitting area and the guest bedroom on the other with two different sets of stairs. Large living area with fireplace and central dining. Large kitchen with a sitting room on the west side where you can enjoy incredible sunsets or from the large deck on the ocean side where you own 190' of ocean frontage on Mackeral Cove. Beautiful views out over the harbor and mooring field by the ferry where you can moor your boat out front and keep your dingy on the town dock. Mostly furnished and turnkey
