This is more than a home—it’s a coastal lifestyle. Follow the steps to the water and dive into the cove at high tide, or wander the beautiful beach at low tide. The views are simply unparalleled. Spend your evenings on the upper deck as the sunset sets the seascape ablaze with color.The chef’s kitchen features nearly new Thermador appliances, reclaimed American heart pine floors, and an oversized island perfect for casual dining. A 10-foot picture window, installed last year, frames the ever-changing coastal scenery. The living room, with its inviting fireplace, opens to a charming covered porch—ideal for outdoor dining from morning coffee to evening meals.Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers breathtaking views stretching beyond Eastern Point. A second-floor family room with access to the upper deck is especially magical in the summer and could be converted into a third bedroom. Welcome to Rocky Neck—a destination people love to visit and a place you’ll be proud to call home.

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: 866 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,731 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 5,104 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.
