Originally a historic home, this property has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated into a bright and airy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat.

Charming Features Spectacular Sunrise Views: East-facing and fronting the water, this home is a dream for early risers. Watch the sun crest over Long Cove from almost every room in the house.
