Listing broker remarks

Set on more than three private acres where winding tidal creeks meet Lewis Bay, 21 Ken’s Way offers a rare waterfront setting that feels like a private nature preserve. Protected marshland, tidal channels, osprey, herons, egrets, and direct kayak access through Mill Creek toward Nantucket Sound create an ever-changing coastal backdrop. The main residence offers approx. 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with walls of glass framing the scenery and a striking custom spiral staircase as a dramatic architectural focal point. A separate guest cottage with private deck and full bath is connected to the new 4-bedroom Title V septic system, offering wonderful flexibility for guests, work, or extended stays. Enjoy evenings by the firepit, launch a kayak from your backyard, or explore the potential to restore the former dock and boathouse, subject to permitting. With approx. one acre of upland surrounded by spectacular tidal marsh, the true value is in the extraordinary setting and future potential.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
