Once part of the Kenarden estate built by J. S. Kennedy in the late 1800s Brightholme was purchased decades later in 1929 by the founder of The Jackson Laboratory. The current owners have lovingly maintained its beauty and grandeur. The outdoor space is lovely too, with a front porch that harkens back to an era of tea parties and mint juleps on a warm summer day. There is generous patio space too and plenty of space for outdoor dining. There's a small inner porch, perfect for your morning coffee! The in-town location is excellent and immediate proximity to the famous Shore Path only add to charm.
