About This Home

As of October 2020

A rare opportunity to own one of the few waterfront properties where you can swim, surf and fish just steps from your front door. Located off Dorries Cove, to the north, it has magnificent western sunset views along with a secluded private location, there are only two other houses on the lane-way. Built circa the early 1900's it has been rumored to have been a boarding house for fishermen before the harbor was built. This charming ocean front home still has the numbered bedrooms (5 of them) along with a simple kitchen, sitting room and 1.5 baths. Admire the breathtaking ocean views, from every level and let the sounds of the crashing waves lull you to sleep. Great Rental history as well.
