About this home
Crow's Nest: An exceptionally rare waterfront offering. This 1938 shingle-style 6-bedroom, 5-bath cottage was masterfully designed, built, and positioned at the water's edge to offer unparalleled water views. Strategically located on a cobblestone beach and bold rock point, this 2.2 acre property offers absolute privacy with over 365' of shorefront. The formal floor plan was specifically designed to interact with the surrounding natural world. With over 4,500 sq. ft. of living space positioned just a few feet from the shore, Crow's Nest stands alone in its proximity to the water. The original owners ensured that the lapping ocean waters could be heard from nearly every bedroom. This historic cottage offers unobstructed water views of the Eastern Way, Bear Island, and the Western Way. A detached 2-car garage, mooring, and deeded, shared dock are also included.
