Direct Oceanfront Antique with magnificent water views from a unique residence has ties to Rockport’s legendary art colony. The former studio of author/artist Harrison Cady, the Round House features an open floor design with a gas fireplace and walls of windows and doors in the spacious living-dining room with direct ocean views and access to a wraparound deck so close to the water you can feel the ocean spray. The open kitchen with more views is a chef’s delight. Follow the circular staircase to the 2nd floor primary suite with a massive 5-window bay and private deck overlooking the water. A walk-in closet and en suite bath make this the ultimate retreat. Water views are highlights in 2 guest rooms; one has a charming turret-like ceiling. 2 full bathrooms, an office – with a view, of course – on the lower level and 2-car parking make this one-of-a-kind home suitable for year-round living or an unforgettable summer/weekend getaway. Either way, this property is a rare opportunity.
