Nestled on desirable Surf Street, set against picturesque Popham Beach and framed by The Sugarloaf Islands, this romantic cedar shake cottage boasts vernacular Gothic Revival architecture with steeply pitched gables, finials, bargeboard, brackets and an ample veranda -- timelessly complementing the natural coastal beauty. Offering views of Pond Island and Seguin Island, ''Sugar Loaf'' (c. 1890) is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Begin your mornings with coffee on the covered porch, or take a peaceful stroll along the beach. Evenings call for drinks on the screened-in porch, where you can unwind to the sound of the sea. Enjoy red snappers on the wraparound deck and host lobster bakes on the brick patio. After an ocean plunge rinse off in the outdoor shower, where climbing hydrangea weave through lattice work. Inside, you'll find this home is equally welcoming. The kitchen, with its woodstove, slate sink, and stainless steel appliances, opens directly onto the side deck, making entertaining a breeze. A formal dining room and adjacent spacious living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, offer the perfect backdrop for lively gatherings or intimate conversations, all while enjoying ocean views. Upstairs, the primary bedroom boasts a private, screened-in porch--a hidden oasis where you can relax amidst the sea breeze. Four additional bedrooms with 3/4 walls exude a casual, coastal charm. At the end of the hall, the east-facing sunroom offers the perfect reading nook or artist's studio with views of the boardwalk and ocean stretching out before you. Outside, an unassuming shed opens to reveal additional accommodations, while a second garden shed offers ample storage for tools and trash bins. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next stewards of this incredible property.
