Charming Cottage Steps from Private Beach – Water Views & Little Neck Charm

Nestled in the historic Little Neck enclave in Ipswich, Massachusetts, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage offers the perfect blend of coastal serenity and modern luxury. Just steps across the street from a private beach, the property boasts panoramic water views and glimpses of the iconic Crane Estate from nearly every window. Recently updated with high-end finishes, the cottage features an open-concept living space upstairs, complete with a chef’s kitchen (Wolf gas range with griddle, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Cove dishwasher), a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and two tranquil bedrooms (queen and full beds). Downstairs, a third bedroom with bunk beds, a second family room, and a snug sitting area provide flexible space for families or small groups. Enjoy year-round comfort with radiant floor heating, mini-split AC/heat units, and a full-size washer/dryer.

Outside, savor morning coffee on the deck while soaking in saltwater breezes, grill fresh-caught seafood on the barbecue, or stroll to the community’s private beach for swimming, kayaking, or fishing off the dock. Little Neck itself buzzes with seasonal charm: join weekend bonfires with marshmallow roasts, lobster bakes on the sand, or friendly games of pickleball and basketball at the community courts. Kids will love the playground and the daily “Coach Program” (weekday mornings) on the ball field.
