JUST STEPS TO THE BEACH

The charm of this beautifully decorated 130 year-old shingle-style Queen Anne will welcome back pleasant memories of summers at Grandma’s rambling house at the shore. The tastefully integrated modern amenities let you relax in comfort. Park your car and forget about it. (Street parking only-no designated parking spots)This is a residential neighborhood, but is only steps from the downtown historic district, shops and the Washington Street mall, pubs and gourmet restaurants, the boardwalk with arcades and fudge shops, and only a block from the beach. Our first floor offers an ample front porch, which includes covered areas for shade-lovers and open areas for sun-worshippers, perfect for entertaining or watching the horse-drawn carriages go by. The side screened porch is the spot for quiet reading or evening aperitif. The front parlor has an ornate gas fireplace and a table ensconced in the bay window for puzzles or board games, and the living room has plenty of seating and a large flat-screen TV. The large dining room has china and glassware for every type of occasion.
