About this home

Imagine being the first to arrive at a rare and beautiful location: Life is simpler and pure joy is gazing across an expanse of water at the horizon knowing that you can claim any portion of it as your own. In 1927 a gentleman from Philadelphia did just that and chose this exact site. It is now offered for the first time in nearly a century. Flanked by two water exposures; 330'+- on Buzzards Bay to the west and 270'+- on the post card perfect Quissett Harbor to the east. This property boasts two private stretches of shoreline, your own boathouse and private dock and a majestic residence featuring nine bedrooms with over 8,000 square feet of living space set on about four acres. Return to a simpler time, where life is defined by the elemental beauty of sea, sky and family. Please verify all information contained herein.
