Imagine Living on Cape Cod with views of downtown Boston - for $500k. This Idyllic beach cottage is sited amidst the Nahant Thicket Wildlife Sanctuary - abutting Audubon protected land & flanked by the Dory Club & Tudor Beach on the Harbor side of the island. Southeast facing, the home fills with ambient light radiating through a gleaming white 3-seasons porch. Every corner of the house captures sun throughout the day - creating wonderfully relaxing ambience. A large eat-in kitchen is the central gathering area, & is outfitted with a skylight, butcher block countertops & stainless appliances. Conveniently, it connects to a rear breezeway & joins to a full laundry room before transitioning to an oversized rear deck. The house affords ample space for entertaining in a large living room & the master bed accommodates a King-sized bed, yet there is still space enough for a guest bed, office & dressing room. Massive lot & detached garage, beaches, trails & views abound - opportunity awaits!

Bungalow with a small yard and good size deck. Rooms are kinda small, kitchen and floors ware somewhat updated. Would make a great summer shack. Only minutes from the ocean.

WOW! Look no further- this one sure feels like home! Welcome to your 3 bedroom/1 bathroom Victorian era cottage that sits on a great lot in one of Nahant's finest neighborhoods. This home has it ALL and is full of charm and character from the second you pull up to the property. The home has been freshly painted inside and out. Some of the other recent upgrades include: newly reframed and shingled roof (2016), new, 3-season front porch, new detached garage/workshop with lots of storage, . HUGE deck off the back of the home makes this place great for entertaining. House is surrounded by "The Thicket," Audubon, Bird Sanctuary (so no one will ever build across or behind you!). Don't forget: one car garage and plenty of parking for 3 additional large cars (RARE to find this) and QUIET street!! Don't miss out on this one!
