Miller Cottage

This charming cottage is ideally situated on a bluff overlooking the ocean facing west. Built in 1907 between the school house and the ice pond, it’s close to village amenities, yet very
private. This is the perfect place to watch the sun setting over the water, the changing cloud formations, the boats coming and going, and the stars appearing one by one in the evening sky. The cottage was the home of the artist Alfred Fuller, and for several summers was rented by George Bellows, who used the living room as his studio.

Downstairs you will find a well-equipped kitchen, adjacent small den, and dining area with view of Manana. The spacious living room has a fireplace, a library, and an old square piano which, though out-of-tune, has the distinction of having been played here by Sergei Rachmaninoff. French doors open from the living room onto a wrap-around deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms (queen, double, and single, two of them with sweeping ocean views), and a bathroom with claw-foot tub and hand-held shower. Antiques and original art enhance all rooms. The back yard is bordered by evergreens, mature shrubs and apple trees.

More accessible than most, this cottage has a boardwalk with handrail leading from the road to the ground-level back door, railings on both sides of the stairs, and comfort-height toilets. The den can serve as a bedroom if stairs are an issue. The attached art studio, built in 1940, is available for an additional $150 a week, with advance notice. It features a cathedral ceiling, north windows facing the water, and measures 18×24 feet. The studio also lends itself well to such activities as writing, yoga, and meditation.
