During World War II, the home was owned by the U.S. government and served as a lookout station for enemy submarines.The first floor features an inviting open floor plan, with a kitchen flowing into the living and dining areas. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace anchors the living room, while sliders open to a beautiful waterside patio—perfect for enjoying the spectacular setting.The expansive great room, once a garage, offers tremendous flexibility and could be converted back if desired. On the second floor, two generous decks flank the main structure, while a cozy second living room with fireplace provides an intimate retreat. The spacious primary bedroom features a full bath and access to the remarkable outdoor spaces.A spiral staircase leads to the third-floor loft, where the views are truly magnificent, stretching across the open Atlantic. Renovate to your taste or build anew—properties in a setting this rare and extraordinary seldom become available.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,894 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 24,214 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
