The perfect home for summers by the sea at a price that can't be beat! Positioned along the rocky shoreline and set far back from the road, this home is an oasis of tranquility yet just a short stroll from Rockport's glorious South End beaches. A wall of sliders and large glass windows create uninterrupted views of the Atlantic and overlook both Twin Lights and Milk Island. A sunny, bright and open floor plan with a contemporary feel provides the perfect space for entertaining which opens to an oceanside deck with stairs directly to the yard and private rocks below. All new kitchen appliances. Turn-key ready with 3 large bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two bonus rooms for overflow guests. Outdoor shower and extensive perennial gardens. Easy access to Gloucester, Rte 128 or the commuter rail to Boston. Come see for yourself!
