About This Home

As of August 2025

Perched high atop coveted 3rd Cliff, this lovely year-round beach house will make you feel like you are on vacation every day! With a strong rental history, this home generates over 48k/year and has immense potential. Whether you choose to purchase as an investment property, move in and start enjoying the sea breezes and ocean views or expand to suit your needs, the possibilities are endless! Surrounded by multi-million dollar homes, the expansive level lot, not in a flood zone, offers the space for a potential garage or pool. Conveniently located close to the harbor, restaurants, shopping, golf courses, Boston commuter rail, and marinas - this is coastal living at its finest! Best of all you are only a short stroll to 'The Spit', a secluded sandbar/beach at the mouth of the North River only accessible by boat or foot, Rivermoor, and Peggotty beach.
