Property Description

Live Beautifully by the Water. A rare coastal residence where historic New England character meets sophisticated modern living. Set on nearly half an acre atop a knoll, 5 Cottage St offers ocean views, privacy and an extraordinary sense of place—just minutes from Boston. Built in 1875 and thoughtfully reimagined, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home pairs soaring 10-foot ceilings, tall windows and an elegant curved staircase with a beautifully renovated interior designed for today's lifestyle. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a generous island with seating for 5+, extensive custom cabinetry and a premium Thermador appliance suite. Flexible living spaces accommodate multigenerational living, a private office, studio or guest retreat, while the expansive front porch and secluded rear patio create effortless spaces for entertaining or simply savoring the sea air. Outside, Nahant's beaches, sailing, surfing, golf and tennis are minutes away; Boston is remarkably accessible by road or ferry. For those seeking a refined coastal home with history, substance and room to live beautifully, 5 Cottage is a rare opportunity.
