On the second floor, two generous decks flank the main structure, while a cozy second living room with fireplace provides an intimate retreat. The spacious primary bedroom features a full bath and access to the remarkable outdoor spaces.A spiral staircase leads to the third-floor loft, where the views are truly magnificent, stretching across the open Atlantic. Renovate to your taste or build anew—properties in a setting this rare and extraordinary seldom become available.
