Enjoy the secret garden, the sculpted trees or walk along the quiet country lane that borders the cove. Relax in the gazebo with a good book, or just take in the view from the widows’ porch. A Large beautiful deck overlooks Glencove bay, which at high tide is fabulous. Heron, cranes and kingfishers grace the cove with their presence.

The home features many pieces of outstanding stain glass artistry by owner Lawrence E. Nadeau. Some works contain as many as 1200 finely hand cut pieces of glass for his beautiful creations

While there are three woodstoves, this home can be immensely enjoyed with a nice cozy sweater, like back in the day.
