About this home

RARE PLUM ISLAND GEM! Own a piece of Plum Island history with the iconic “Arctic” Cottage, circa 1900—owned by only three families in 125 years! Ideally located on an idyllic Plum Island beach, this charming 5-bedroom cottage offers deeded beach rights shared with one neighboring property. Gleaming hardwood floors, classic cottage-board detailing and a fabulous wraparound porch showcase its timeless character. Recent improvements include new roof, furnace, tankless water heater, A/C compressor, and interior/exterior paint. Enjoy panoramic water views toward Newburyport, spectacular sunsets and watersports just steps away. Large parking area for 6+ cars. Strong rental history since 2007. A truly special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
