A short stroll from the sun-kissed sands of Jenness Beach, this custom-designed Cape-style residence offers a harmonious blend of timeless craftsmanship and relaxed seaside living. Built in 2014 with exceptional attention to detail, the home reflects classic New England architecture while embracing the ease and comfort of a modern coastal lifestyle. Step inside to discover light-filled interiors that flow seamlessly from room to room. Anchored by a soaring two-story stone gas fireplace, the living space exudes warmth and charm. Plantation shutters and custom finishes throughout reflect a commitment to quality and design. The thoughtfully curated floorplan features 3 spacious bedrooms, including a serene first-floor primary suite that offers comfort and privacy. An inviting den is the perfect setting to curl up with a great novel or enjoy relaxed movie nights. Life here is centered around the outdoors—whether paddle boarding at sunrise, surfing afternoon swells, or strolling along miles of pristine coastline. An outdoor shower offers the perfect way to rinse off after a day spent by the sea, while the classic front porch invites leisurely mornings with coffee and a calming sea breeze. Private, yet connected to this vibrant seaside community, the home is a true sanctuary. Impeccably maintained, graciously appointed, and ideally situated—this is Seacoast NH Coastal living at its finest.
