Charming, newly remodeled space atop Munjoy Hill.

We are a 1 BR condo atop Munjoy Hill, a block from the historic 78 acre ocean side Eastern Prom Park, with its majestic homes, gourmet food trucks, grassy hills, and recreation area. Our condo is an easy, open space, renovated in 2019, with artful touches created by my woodworker husband.

Evenings, come back to marvel at the wondrous sunset unveiled, just steps from our place.
