The picturesque seaside town of Scituate is graced with a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own distinct flavor and charm. The charming Sand Hills neighborhood, situated between Egypt Beach to the north and Cedar Point, where Scituate Light stands sentry at the mouth of Scituate Harbor, to the south, maintains a delightful summer vacation vibe that has largely remained in place for decades as summertime residents join year-rounders to enjoy the close-knit neighborhood.
Two roads traverse Cedar Point, an elongated peninsula that extends into the ocean: Lighthouse Road, which sweeps around the peninsula’s southwestern end, bordering the harbor, and Rebecca Road, which loops along the northeast-facing side of the peninsula. Nestled on tidy lots facing the water, the homes on Cedar Point boast sweeping views and a front-row seat to witness nature’s beauty.
The two-story home at No. 41 Rebecca Road is situated directly on the beach near the mid-point of the roadway. Waves caress the shore just steps from the concrete patio that extends from the rear of the home, making it easy to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean, take a swim or cast a line.
