DESCRIPTION:
Oceanfront Timberframe Cottage is magical. It has earned a hundred 5-star reviews (found on the Verbo site we used for many years.)
This charming LARGE home has vaulted 14-foot beamed ceilings, mahogany countertops, a stone fireplace, wide pine floors, and a spacious great room/kitchen. Oceanfront Timberframe Cottage is cloistered in a seaside setting just a few miles from downtown Plymouth -- with easy access to sightseeing, whale-watching, deep sea fishing, antiquing, boutiques, golf, historic homes, beachcombing, and swimming.
From the breezeway, you take in the breathtaking view. At night you can see the twinkling lights of Plymouth, the beacon from the Gurnet lighthouse across Plymouth Bay, and the outer arm of Cape Cod on the eastern horizon.
Stepping inside, you enter the Great Room with its stone fireplace, timber trusses, barn-wood ceiling, and wall of glass looking out on the ocean. Decorated with white slip-covered furniture, the Great Room has wide pine floors antique cupboards with mirror doors reflecting the ocean. The kitchen runs the length of the Great Room and has a 14-foot long mahogany-top island, 2 under mount sinks/Grohe faucets, a Dish-Drawer dishwasher, induction cooktops, Miele convection oven allowing the cook (or master of canapes and wine) to be part of the family gathering while enjoying the wraparound view. The gas fireplace is flanked with antique Ottoman doors, brought back from Cyprus. Just off the Great Room is a raised queen bed sleeping alcove w a queen-size 4-poster British West Indies bed. The high windows let you peer at starlight high above the Atlantic. The bedroom's French doors open onto the wraparound mahogany deck — the outdoor shower has lighthouse views.
This handsomely renovated cottage has three full (shower) baths. One has a mahogany countertop, marble shower with pebble floor, and skylights above the shower and +toilet. Another has a 9-foot white-marble countertop, large Kohler shower (with grab-bar and optional seat), and skylights and windows overlooking the ocean bluff. The third, on the lower level, has a 4-foot shower, and a separate toilet alcove.
The open floor plan offers flexibility for those with just 2 couples wanting space and luxury, or larger families with children spilling into the spacious lower level with its own full shower bath, tv area, and laundry.
We provide abundantly for your comfort and convenience at the house: Nice bed linens, towels, beach towels, laundry supplies, a well-stocked kitchen with spices, oil, condiments, and baking needs, an ice-maker, Miele convection oven, induction cooktops (so you can move them and cook facing the ocean) quality pots and pans and dishes, quality wine glasses and glassware, silverware, etc, paper goods, air-conditioning, two gas fireplaces, quality Weber gas grill with propane. Plymouth Long Beach is just 2 miles away.
A hundred years ago, the neighborhood was the elaborate Stone Estate, a magnificent spread with mansion, stables, a gardener's cottage, caretaker's cottage, pool house with saltwater pool, polo fields with stone ramparts, and a guest house modeled after the tea house at Versailles.
Downtown Plymouth has great restaurants, a lively music scene, and interesting shops, pubs, and parks. Nearby are Plimoth/Pawtuxet (formerly Plimouth Plantation), which is like a trip in a time machine, Plymouth Rock, whale watching, historic homes, and many other attractions. You can take day trips to Boston, the Mansions of Newport, and or drive down the Cape, and from there take the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. A summer ferry also connects Plymouth and Provincetown, avoiding a long car trip.
