Discover the charm of this custom-designed Salt Box home, perfectly situated on the scenic west shore of the Newbury Neck Peninsula. Surrounded by lush wild ferns and towering evergreens, the residence offers stunning water views of Morgan Bay and breathtaking sunsets, thanks to its thoughtful east-west orientation.

The first floor also includes a formal dining room, a sophisticated living room, and practical spaces like a library and laundry room.

Upstairs, two luxurious ensuite bedrooms await, each offering walk-in closets and mesmerizing water views. The master suite includes a propane fireplace for added warmth, while the bright guest room is a perfect retreat. Access to the generous attic runs the length of the house, providing possibilities for expansion.
