Commanding a paradisiacal location on coveted Eden Road, this-sun-dappled and delightful cottage the Glenellen, one of two sister cottages, offers unbroken views across picturesque Loblolly Cove to its famous brethren, the Twin Lights of Thatcher Island. The light-filled interior features weathered hardwood floors that accent picture windows framing endless ocean vistas, with a classic front porch for soaking in the view and summer breeze, surrounded by rambling lawns, gardens and patio, all with stunning ocean backdrop. Honoring its turn-of-the century origin, when seaside cottages were built sturdily to withstand the rigors of their maritime setting and maximize the pleasures of coastal living, this lovely cottage in its 5th generation of ownership oozes character, comfort and staying power with three bedrooms, two full bath, fireplaced living room, and 1200 s.f. of living space on a third of an acre. Its sister cottage the Elmador located at 61 Eden Rd is also for sale.
