It may be the dog days of summer, but salty breezes still stir the bedroom curtains of this seaside Mansard home. Sea roses quietly riot at the edge of the Victorian porch overlooking Lowell's Cove to the south. For generations family have crossed the lawn barefoot from Toadhall, the 4 bedroom main house to granddad's ship's cabin 2 bed apartment (The Tadpool). Swimming, kayaking, collecting sea glass and shells are just a 2 minute stroll to the beach. Supervising the tides can be done with a cup of coffee from the porch or Tadpool's elevated deck. Renovated in 1998 and refreshed in 2018, this year-round compound has been a wonderful year-round home and sanctuary with an excellent rental history. Fire flies, shooting stars and soft summer breezes are included.
