IMAGINE... being the first to arrive at a rare and beautiful location: Life is simpler and pure joy is gazing across an expanse of water at the horizon knowing that you can claim any portion of it as your own.

In 1927, a gentleman from Philadelphia did just that. He chose this exact site from all the available horizon. It is now offered for the first time in nearly a century. Flanked by two water exposures, Buzzards Bay to the west and the postcard perfect Quissett Harbor on the east. This property boasts a shared beach, bathhouse and dock with a majestic residence featuring nine bedrooms and over 8,000 square feet of living space set on about four acres.

Make a promise to yourself: Return to a simpler time, where life is defined by the elemental beauty of sea, sky and family.

ENTER... a world where time stands still. Warm wood tones welcome and embrace you as you enter the expansive foyer. Lit by bright ribbon of ocean and sky streaming through French Doors, the charm, grace and ambiance of a bygone era are apparent. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself slowing down a bit, noticing things seemingly for the first time… An osprey hovering over the Bay, young voices chasing a ball on the rolling lawns and that “all is right with the world” feeling that comes with life in the present, framed by the timeless residence and sea.

RENEW... as the sun rises over the protected waters of Quissett Harbor. A quick change, a choice among paddleboard, sailboat or a graceful pirouette off the deep water dock and the day begins. As the day unfolds, life moves as the sun moves from the Harbor to Buzzard’s Bay, where no two sunsets are ever alike. A perfect day from beginning to end.
