A skylit primary suite occupies a private third-floor retreat with sweeping views toward the Harbor and World's End.Among the home's most cherished features is its original wood-burning beehive oven, lovingly restored to working order, a true piece of the home's history and a wonderful way to gather, bake fresh bread, or fire homemade pizzas. The beautifully landscaped grounds offer exceptional flexibility, including two outbuildings, one a garage with a workshop and living space above, offering potential for future ADU use, subject to town approval.
