Property Description

Cedar Shingle Dream Home on Plum Island! If you've been dreaming of a life where the perfect "toes in the sand" summer vacation never ends, your window of opportunity doesn't have to end in November! While the island life draws thousands to the iconic beaches of Plum Island, this thoughtfully appointed NBPT enclave, fully renovated in 1997 by a renowned Master Builder, invites you and your nearest and dearest to stay all year! Over 2,800 square feet of living looks like more here, with inside spaces that let the sunlight define them, from the impeccably designed chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry outfitted with enviable built-in storage for platters, cookie sheets and the ole lobster pot, plus top of the line appliances that include a Viking Bun Warmer & a wine fridge - situated ideally to keep your crowd mingling, and feeling right at home. A gas fireplace anchors the living space and an open dining room welcomes everyone to the table. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite features a floor-to-ceiling, armoire-style custom built-in, and a redesigned luxury bath with a softly rounded porcelain tub. Wood shutters add warmth and privacy; and a welcoming guest bedroom invites friends to stay awhile. Between them, an expansive sunroom nook with built-in storage seating is made for plush cushions, cozy blankets, beach novels and afternoons around a puzzle. Step onto the private rooftop deck to recharge for the day ahead, or relax at sunset. Dormered windows frame ocean and basin views from the third-floor loft, an ideal 3rd bedroom to fall asleep under the stars via skylight that's big enough to enjoy BR plus a den, office, or teen hangout as well! Outdoors, an outdoor shower, grilling deck, firepit and garden with built-in seating and beautiful stonework create places to gather. A secluded side yard offers room for a hammock and a landing spot for sandy towels and flip-flops. Just a short block to the 55th street Beach Access, & even shorter walk to the Basin where you can 'put in' a kayak or zodiac and tool around Joppa Flats for the day. All the favorite island destinations (Mad Martha's, the Beach Coma, etc..) are minutes from your door, or trek off-island to explore downtown Newburyport’s cobbled streets and storied shops and dining. Home enjoys a Whole-house water filtration system, Primary Bath Steam Shower, and a generator hookup that keeps things humming at the flip of a switch. Don't miss this one!
