Property Description
Escape to Roque Bluffs at this charming year round cottage perched at the ocean's edge. With all the charm of the late 19th century and all the amenities of this one, this cottage is ready for its new owners, so just bring your clothes and sunhat for it is being sold fully furnished and appointed. The front of the cottage has a deep porch that wraps along the side and leads to a meandering, oversized deck with multiple areas to lounge, nap, grill, and toast the sunset. Standing back at the front door, your eye is immediately drawn to the blue ocean and green pine trees beyond. And upon entering you find yourself in a surprisingly spacious area with a cozy fireplace nook to your right, a dining area to your left and a wide open living room with five picture windows overlooking the water. Be sure to take a moment and look up at the herringbone paneled ceiling that frames the first space and the wood beams that define the second. The kitchen, an oversized galley style, is modern and features an enormous amount of storage with all the tools needed for lobster dinners, blueberry muffins, and French press coffee. The door from the kitchen opens right onto the deck with a grilling and dining area. Off the kitchen is a sweet home office area with a daybed for reading breaks or an overnight guest. And the first floor bathroom has a delightful soaking tub, in addition to the laundry area. Up the classic cottage winding staircase are two bedrooms, one rather cozy and the other more generous in size, and another full bathroom all with water views. The attached garage has room for summer toys and space to winter your boat, while the rolling lawn offers multiple vistas across the bluffs. Just down the road is a landing for your boat and also Roque Bluffs State Park Beach with sandy stretches and ocean tumbled rocks. Grocery shopping and other amenities feel a world away, but are a mere 15 minutes drive across roads that wind through blueberry fields. Sold furnished.
