In a neighborhood that celebrates mariners, this 1898 sea cottage steered the life of a beloved captain, artist, and author - one who would argue that the triangle formed by the harbor, this home, and the mile buoy holds undeniable magic and when conditions are just right, one can hear the low melody of the buoy along with the song of the fog horn drifts right through the bedroom window. It is only fitting that in the same month that this community so loudly saved its iconic mile buoy, this home sails onto the market just ten parcels from the sea and Ed Larsons beloved buoy - famously illustrated, spoken of, and navigated by the late seafarer who lived here.
