Affectionately referred to as 'Tip Top House', this private downtown rusticator cottage is perched amongst the trees on top of a ledge overlooking the Fox Islands Thorofare. This unique summer home was designed and constructed in the late 1800s by a well-acclaimed architect and later retrofitted for modern living. The spacious property is amongst the largest lots downtown and adorned with original stone walkways, brick terraces, flower beds, and more! Tip Top House offers an abundance of privacy, charm, and breathtaking views, at less than a five-minute walk to downtown amenities!
This cottage comfortably sleeps up to nine guests with three queen and two twin beds located on the second floor. A large, bright, eat-in kitchen extends next to a formal dining room and sizable living room. Two and three-quarter baths include a clawfoot tub for soaking. The large veranda and sun deck have ample seating for taking in the view. Full laundry, high-speed Wifi, TV, and grill. Extensive library, and plenty of puzzles and games.
