Built in 1898

In a neighborhood that celebrates mariners, this 1898 sea cottage steered the life of a beloved captain, artist, and author - one who would argue that the triangle formed by the harbor, this home, and the mile buoy holds undeniable magic and when conditions are just right, one can hear the low melody of the buoy along with the song of the fog horn drifts right through the bedroom window. It is only fitting that in the same month that this community so loudly saved its iconic mile buoy, this home sails onto the market just ten parcels from the sea and Ed Larsons beloved buoy - famously illustrated, spoken of, and navigated by the late seafarer who lived here. This lovely Seabright escape hatch is perfect for you to equally pour your devotion into and update to your coastal delight or just enjoy the unique salty gem. The home is lovely for life at the beach, with wooden accents, historic memories, additional spaces, and a front garden to greet the friendly neighbors. EEasily stroll to everything seaworthy, including cafes, local history museum, bike paths, shopping, and relaxing in the sand! Park your yacht and vehicle in one of the longest driveways in the avenues. A charmed new owner will be fortunate to drop anchor at 222 2nd Avenue.
