Overview

Description

A Rare Waterfront Gem in Historic Christmas Cove. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Christmas Cove's rich heritage. Nestled right at the water's edge, this charming property features a main house and a delightful separate 'honeymoon cottage,' offering idyllic views and direct access to the tranquil cove. Wake up and slide open the summer kitchen doors to greet the peaceful morning waters, then gather in the spacious great room, complete with a classic stone fireplace—perfect for cozy summer evenings with family and friends. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a deck, covered front porch, and a deep-water dock ideal for boating and relaxing by the sea. Please note: parts of the property were damaged by the January 2024 winter storms and is being offered as is. The septic system is rated for three bedrooms, and the property shares a well with the neighboring home.
