About This Home

As of April 2025

The Cottage is a historic shingle style summer ''cottage'' built in 1895 during the Gilded Age as part of the York Cliffs Development, a neighborhood developed by a wealthy New York conglomerate in the late 1800's. The purpose of the YCD Company was to
establish an exclusive resort community envisioned to offer luxury escapes from
the industrial areas and enjoy a summer at the coast. As one of the original
homes in the area, ''The Cottage'' offers a rare glimpse into the architectural
grandeur of that time, meticulously preserved and yet updated for modern
living. This coastal retreat features exquisite millwork, including multi layered crown moldings, extensive built-ins throughout, and incredible stonework, blending historical craftsmanship with contemporary luxury. South easterly facing, the classic porch provides the perfect spot to watch epic sunrises over Boon Island Light, views of the iconic Nubble Lighthouse, while enjoying the sound of the bell buoy at the mouth of Cape Neddick Harbor. Inside, the home boasts a chef's kitchen equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, central AC, and a spacious layout. The primary suite is a serene retreat with ocean views, a generous sitting room with fireplace and a sun-filled bath. This home harkens back to a more elegant time with large open rooms featuring soaring ceilings, 4 fireplaces and a grand foyer. Beyond relaxing at nearby Pint Cove, this property is a short stroll to sandy Cape Neddick beach and a quick drive to the Cliff House, Ogunquit and downtown Portsmouth. Relish in the beauty as you turn onto Agamenticus Aveune, with its breathtaking views and grand old homes and you will truly understand the brilliance of the group who formed the York Cliff Company. The combined
beauty of this area and its architecture is unparalleled.
