This exceptional Plum Island retreat lives bigger than a one-bedroom home, offering remarkable versatility, generous gathering spaces, and an extraordinary coastal lifestyle. Sweeping 270-degree views of the Merrimack River, Joppa Flats & the Plum Island Basin off three levels of amazing decks create a breathtaking backdrop, just moments from the Atlantic Ocean. Thoughtfully designed with refined coastal elegance, the home blends effortless indoor-outdoor living with soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, rich hardwood floors, classic nautical detailing, and a warm gas fireplace. The beautifully appointed kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, propane cooking, and a generous island ideal for entertaining. A private primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with marble finishes, radiant heated floors, soaking tub, sauna, and custom tiled shower. An inviting loft with cupola captures spectacular panoramic water views, while flexible office and guest accommodations provide additional versatility. Outside, expansive Trex decking, a private oversized hot tub, outdoor shower, and beautifully illuminated grounds create the ultimate coastal sanctuary. Thoughtful amenities include multi-zone audio, central air, irrigation, and parking for six vehicles. Significant recent improvements, including a 2025 roof and 2024 heating and cooling systems, complete this remarkable island offering, where space, comfort, and the timeless beauty of Plum Island come together.
