The setting of this property is not one that comes to market often. Surrounded by protected open space and located just one property away from Higbee’s Beach, it offers some of the most private living that Cape Island has to offer. In addition, it is steps away from world renowned birding at the Higbee Beach State Wildlife Management Area.

The current owners have honored the home’s history while adding updates for comfort and ease. The first floor features a rear entryway mudroom, updated kitchen with Shaker style cabinetry, ample counter space and tile floors. There is also an attached garage that has been converted to workshop, laundry room/half bath combination, a dining room currently used as a study, living room with gas fireplace, breakfast nook, and enclosed front porch overlooking the open space that surrounds it. The second floor has a master bedroom with en suite bath, as well as a second bedroom and full hall bath. The third floor is a possible third bedroom with large closet. The land is a full acre planted and to attract and accommodate avian visitors and bring beauty all year round.
