A skylit primary suite occupies a private third-floor retreat with sweeping views toward the Harbor and World's End.Among the home's most cherished features is its original wood-burning beehive oven, lovingly restored to working order, a true piece of the home's history and a wonderful way to gather, bake fresh bread, or fire homemade pizzas.

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 MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date.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.
