About this home

Magnificent oceanfront Shingle-Style Home overlooking Good Harbor Beach! One of the most photographed and painted homes on the East Coast with spectacular views of Salt Island, Thacher Island & Twin Lights. Built in 1876 as a summer "cottage" and extensively renovated, the home is set on 1.8 waterfront acres 50 feet above the sea at the tip of Bass Rocks with spectacular granite outcroppings and perennial gardens. This unique 19 rm residence is unparalleled in its location and once served as the summer residence for the delegation of the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand). The property has steps built into granite rocks leading down to a private beach at low tide and is perfect for swimming at high tide. Large, elegant rooms are perfect for entertaining large parties or intimate gatherings. Five bedrooms, five full and 2 half baths plus a lower level 2 bedroom suite affords ample space for guests. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make this iconic home your own!
