This well-preserved and recently updated Victorian cottage boasts 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths yet still retains many of its original features. Located just a few blocks from Short Sands Beach, the York Beach pavilion, and the Nubble Lighthouse, the property serves well as both a family gathering place and, with its established rental history, as a rental property. Enjoy ocean vistas from almost every room. Relax on the wrap-around porch and savor the ocean breezes. Even on a rainy day, there is plenty of space to enjoy your company, whether in the living room around the fireplace, the spacious family room, or the tower with its panoramic ocean views. Beautifully decorated, this large year-round home comes fully furnished.
