About this home

Tucked along Massachusetts' Atlantic coastline, 5 Cottage offers a rare invitation: trade the noise of city life for the rhythm of the tides. This luxury coastal estate blends timeless New England character with room to grow, ideal for families craving space, light, & a slower pace without sacrificing sophistication. Nahant is a tight-knit town where neighbors know your name, sunrise walks lead straight to the beach, surf, & Boston's skyline is visible yet sits just thirty minutes away. This completely refurbished 5BR home is designed with flexibility to include multi generational living. For buyers from New York or beyond, seeking an urban alternative, it delivers what dense city living can't: privacy, sea air, & a genuine sense of belonging.This is a home for those with a clear vision, ready to write their next chapter by the water. 10ft ceilings, tall windows, gorgeous curved staircase & luxurious modern upgrades. Come see what island living is all about.
