About This Home

Enchanting Waterfront Cottage with private dock on peaceful Goose Cove. Enjoy gorgeous water views, looking straight out over the Cove and at the most spectacular nightly sunsets. It's so very serene and much like living on your very own nature preserve. The cottage is warm and welcoming, with a wood paneled, multi-windowed mudroom with storage benches at the entryway, front to back living/dining room, kitchen, first floor bedroom - currently used as a den with pull-out couch - and full bath, a family room/sunroom across the back of the home. The kitchen is older style with a fabulous classic double porcelain sink and tons of storage. You will find four more bedrooms upstairs and a second full bath w/tub and shower. Windows abound throughout the home, letting in both abundant light and heavenly breezes. The property is beautifully landscaped, providing a continuous rolling display of colorful perennials. Close to Plum Cove Beach, the coveted Lighthouse Beach, and the Annisquam River.
