Description
Ever dreamed of owning a movie set? Tucked away on sought-after Surf Street and set against the backdrop of picturesque Popham Beach, this romantic cedar-shake cottage features vernacular Gothic Revival architecture and served as the house in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel Message in a Bottle. Nestled among pitch pines and just steps from the sand, this peaceful property offers a calm, timeless atmosphere. With a strong rental history and a variety of spaces for gathering and relaxing—there's room for everyone. Receive guests in comfort on the airy screened-in front porch. Inside, charm and comfort abound framed by panoramic water views from nearly every room. The eat-in kitchen features a butcher block countertop, beadboard ceiling, built-in china closet, and a washer and dryer for your convenience.
