Thoughtfully repriced for today’s market, creating a rare opportunity to own this turnkey historic estate.
Set on 1.56 private acres just minutes from the Seacoast’s beaches, this beautifully restored New England home offers a rare combination of historic character and everyday livability. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this 3-bedroom, 2400+ sq ft property retains its timeless charm while living with the comfort and ease today’s buyers expect.
