Welcome to “Blue Moon,” a quintessential Plum Island cottage offering something increasingly difficult to find on the island: space, character and possibilities. Set on an oversized 9,602 SF double lot on a low-traffic dead-end street, this year-round 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is just one block from the Basin and two blocks from the beach. The approximately 1,220 SF of finished living space includes a main level centered around a truly one-of-a-kind wood-burning brick fireplace, along with the kitchen, living room, sitting room, full bath, mudroom and access to the covered porches. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, while the finished walkout lower level offers the primary bedroom, second full bath, laundry and utility/work space. Outside, the expansive fenced property features private gardens, generous off-street parking for 6 vehicles, space for outdoor amenities and a detached shed. Enjoy Blue Moon as it is, renovate over time, or explore the significant potential afforded by the unusually large lot—including expansion of the existing home (subject to all applicable municipal approvals). A new propane furnace was installed in May 2026 and the hot water heater is ~5 years. A rare combination of Plum Island charm, an exceptional lot, desirable location and future possibilities. No open houses. Private scheduled showings only.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 610 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,220 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 9,602 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
