Why they chose this property
Although it was in rather a sad state, we fell in love with the house at first sight, and couldn't resist the lure of restoring this gracious historic old sea-captain's house to it's earlier glory.
What makes this property unique
In touch with the harbor and all that goes on there. A short walk to the nearest supermarket. And very close to the downtown.
