Description

If you are lucky enough to live near the water, you are truly lucky. This beautiful contemporary home near the beach, boating and golf, with water views, on an over-sized lot, certainly fits that saying. It doesn't get much better than this location. This 2 bedroom (possibly 3 bedrooms), 2 full bathroom home (plus a den) features an open concept on the main level and floor to ceiling windows. Glistening water views, an almost constant cooling ocean breeze for those hot summer days, and a wood burning stove to snuggle in front of during the wintertime are some of the wonderful amenities this home has to offer. Enjoy a refreshing drink on the back deck overlooking an expansive yard. At the top of the stairs is a loft that can serve as a perfect home office - an office with an ocean view. You will also find a Master suite with sliders to yet another deck.

    "We've lived in Nahant for 10 years. Many families have been here for generations. Based on a variety of criteria, it was voted safest community in the country in Coastal Living Magazine. No matter where you live, the ocean and a beach are just a short walk away. Nahant has beautiful, historic, old NewEngland homes to simple beach cottages (and everything in between). Many people liken it to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. It's a quaint, little town, where people love to get outside and walk their dogs, and stop to talk with neighbors. There are several walking trails, that include an Audibon, Bird Sanctuary, and a park along the ocean. It's a great place to raise a family and have your children grow up with memories of living by the ocean. For dining, there are 2 restaurants (one small one near the end of the island, and the other at the causeway with water views). Not only all of this, there ARE affordable homes for sale. "
