Property Description

There are homes you own, and there are homes you steward for the next generation. For more than 100 years, this classic seaside shingle cottage has been part of the Little Bay shoreline. Today, it presents a rare opportunity to restore a cherished waterfront retreat or create the legacy home you’ve always envisioned. Set on the banks of Little Bay with panoramic water views, breathtaking sunrises, a deep-water dock with direct Atlantic access, and a setting that feels like living on a boat, this is a once-in-a-generation waterfront offering. Fish for striped bass from your private dock, spend the day cruising the bay, or simply relax on the expansive waterside deck as the tides and wildlife provide an ever-changing backdrop. The existing 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage has been thoughtfully updated over the past nine years while preserving its coastal character. Original hardwood and wide pine floors, custom built-ins, a woodstove, and walls of windows are complemented by a chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops, center island, Bosch appliances, Wolf 36-inch gas cooktop, and Zephyr vent hood. A Kohler whole-house generator provides year-round peace of mind. Outside, mature gardens, raised vegetable beds, a fenced courtyard, spacious front deck, wood storage lean-to, and storage shed complete the property. The true value, however, is what can never be duplicated: the extraordinary waterfront setting, panoramic views, deep-water dock, and exceptional location. Whether you preserve this beloved cottage or build a spectacular new waterfront home for the next century, this remarkable property offers the opportunity to create a lasting coastal legacy in one of the Seacoast’s most desirable neighborhoods.
