Beachfront Oasis on Smith’s Point

While out on a magnificent morning walk on Smith’s Point, a private enclave in the coastal community of Manchester by the Sea, the current owners of 44 Proctor Street passed by this beautiful, old carriage house for sale. They immediately had a vision and together with Olson Lewis architects, they designed the unique seaside escape. Located on 2 acres of beachfront, at the end of a private road, this tranquil oasis is nestled between a wooded hillside and sand dunes.

• Their intent was to make the most of the natural beauty around them and of course, soak up the casual oceanside lifestyle of sand and surf.
• The property consists of a 4-bedroom main house, a guest house, and the architectural folly, a reading nap room where you can hear the ocean from the dunes with a large outdoor patio with antique cobblestones and fire pit.
• Just through the dunes is Long Beach, the private sandy beach and association deep-water dock on Smith’s Point where one can enjoy water sports like kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, and swimming.
• All three buildings are shingle-style with a soothing color pallet of cedar shingles with Spanish cedar trim.
• The main house has simple clean lines, an open floor plan with soaring ceilings, Lepage Millwork, waterworks fixtures, Cararra marble baths, and state of the art technology.
• The guest house is filled with natural light that comes in from three sides and has a spectacular balcony overlooking dunes to the ocean.
• This is truly a welcome reprieve from hectic life. From the dune grass blowing in the wind, the sound of the ocean waves, and the crackling of the fire pit, this is one of the most scenic places available on the North Shore of Boston to fully immerse yourself in the great outdoors.
