你一定要回來跟我一起看這棟房子，因為它擁有那種真正的 “奶奶的經典1940年代冬季周末” 的氛圍，這是一種無可替代的感覺。
想像一下：外面正在下雪，我們坐在大客廳裡，壁爐裡的花崗岩火焰正在燃燒。結節松木的牆板，壁爐兩側的內建書架，以及那種讓你感到舒適的暖光。我們的咖啡桌上攤開著大富翁，旁邊有一大碗爆米花（在爐子上做的真正kind），還有唱片不停地播放……然後再播放……再神奇地又播放一次，因為在這樣的房子裡就是會發生這樣的事情。
當然，我們的團體裡總是有那個人會拿出幻燈機，從過去的假期中拍攝的幻燈片，裡面的復古服裝、髮型，捕捉那一刻。這棟房子完美地契合了這種氛圍。
然後你走進日光室，它改變了氛圍：腳下是石板地，面向海灘的水景，這裡變成了閱讀和休閒的區域。報紙、雜誌、鮪魚溶化三明治、西紅柿米飯湯。基本上這是最佳的放鬆房間。
外面則是那種讓你想要實際行動的冬天：我們可以在Munn Lane滑雪橇，然後前往Causeway海灘看看海裡帶來了什麼，非常適合收集海玻璃。這整個海岸線的探險讓你在回來時臉頰發涼，口袋裡滿載著小寶藏。
佈局也非常棒，房子的絕大部分是木地板，還有那個一樓的臥室空間（或者說書房），對街的水景讓整個鄉村家的感覺更加完美。這裡溫馨、實用，卻又不知為何仍然感覺特別。
而車庫……有三個車位，但它並不僅僅是“車庫”。這感覺更像是一個車間，總有項目在運行。這是一個雪橇、自行車、划水板、蛤蜊鏟、釣魚竿、海灘椅和冷卻器都有家的地方。
這裡的重點是：它附帶兩塊土地，包括對街的濱水地產。那麼水景呢？受到了保護。有大約50英尺的沙灘，通往水邊的小路就在馬路對面，夏天非常適合皮划艇或划水板。而坐在小山上，海拔足夠高，你不需要擔心洪水問題。
夏天你可以在小山上觀看Orient Village的煙火，從客廳、日光室和一樓的臥室/書房都能看到。這裡安靜、真實，感覺與當地故事緊密相連——在Narrow River Road的冰船賽、牡蠣養殖、掏蛤蜊、釣魚……所有的一切。
這就是當“鄉村”意味著海岸、經典時，放鬆的樣子，而這正是我們所渴望的。

You have to come back and see this house with me because it’s got that real “grandma’s classic 1940s winter weekend” energy in the best way that has been on the short list feeling.
Picture this: it’s snowing outside, and we’re posted up in the big living room with the granite fireplace going. Knotty pine paneling, bookshelves built in on both sides of the hearth, and that warm glow that makes you feel settled. We’ve got Monopoly spread out on the coffee table, a huge bowl of popcorn (the legit kind made on the stove), and a record playing… then playing again… then somehow playing again because that’s what happens in houses like this.
And of course there’s always that one person in our group who breaks out a slide projector, vacation slides from back in the day with the vintage clothing, the hair styles, taking in the moments. This house just fits that vibe perfectly.
Then you walk into the sunroom and it changes gears: slate floors under your feet, water views straight out toward the beach, and it becomes the reading and lounging zone. Newspapers, magazines, tuna melts, tomato and rice soup. It’s basically the best relaxing room.
Outside, it’s the kind of winter that makes you want to actually do stuff: we can go sledding down Munn Lane, then heading to the Causeway beach to see what the sea rolled in, perfect for seaglass collecting. That whole shoreline exploration where you come back with cold cheeks and a pocket full of little treasures.
The layout is great too, wood floors through most of the house, and there’s that first-floor bedroom space (or den) with water views across the street that ties the whole country home feeling. It’s cozy, practical, and somehow still feels special.
And the garage… three bays, but it doesn’t feel like “just a garage.” It feels like a workshop where projects are always in motion. The kind of place where sleds, bikes, paddleboards, clam rakes, fishing poles, beach chairs, and coolers all have a home.
Here’s the kicker: it comes with two pieces of land, including the waterfront property across the street. So those water views? Protected. There’s about 50 feet of sandy beach, and the path to the water is right across the street, perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding in the summer. And sitting on the hill, the elevation is high enough that you’re not sitting stressing about flood issues.
In the summer you’re up on the hill watching fireworks in Orient Village, with views from the living room, sunroom, and that main-floor bedroom/den. It’s peaceful, authentic, and it feels connected to the real local story—ice boat racing off Narrow River Road, oyster farming, clamming, fishing… all of it.
This is what relaxation looks like when “country” means coastal, classic, and this is what we wanted.
