Such a special location on the edge of open ocean! Enjoy sea breezes and ocean views from the deck of this charming New England farmhouse. Walk from the back yard, past your duck pond, to your own piece of waterfront on Basin Cove. Relax on the front or back covered porches or enjoy the elevated views from the master balcony. The generous 1.57 AC lot offers a large 21 X 44ft barn or boat storage building. Flooded with natural light from walls of windows and attached smaller building make this an excellent work space.

The options are endless, from the deep water channel, to the calm waters of Basin cove. Renew yourself in the timeless perennial gardens. Create your own little saltwater sanctuary!
