The 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom cottage with wide pine floors, exposed wood beams, and a wood-burning fireplace, was once home to Eugene O'Neill and Joel Meyerowitz. The updated kitchen, modern bath, and spacious living room with waterfront deck provide both comfort and style. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers panoramic water views and ample storage. The guest bedroom includes built-ins and closet space, with a convenient half bath. Across the lawn, the studio suite with full bath and kitchen offers privacy and flexibility for guests or rental income.
