Inside, the cottage radiates warmth and history with wide pine floors, bulls-eye glass accents, and sun-filled rooms that capture the beauty of the coast. With three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, there’s plenty of room for family and guests to enjoy long summer stays.The full attic and basement provide ample storage for beach gear and seasonal essentials, and the backyard features a rare piece of local history: New Castle’s only remaining Fish House. Whether you're looking for a summer getaway or a year-round haven with seasonal flair, this coastal cottage offers the best of both worlds.
