The “Cottage at the Head of Lobster Cove” as it was named and made famous by The White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs in the early 1900’s was constructed in 1762 and meticulously restored by the current owners. Drenched in history and charming period details, the home offers 4 fireplaces, 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. The roof is just one year old and the gutters and downspouts are all copper. The sale includes an abutting one bedroom artists studio in a converted barn with vaulted ceilings and exposed posts and beams. Located on the lower level is a workshop and garden room. Exquisite gardens, sprawling lawn and patio areas. This property is an antique lovers dream!
