Our Take

1 Coves End Road is a 1905, six-bedroom home with four full baths and two half-baths on 1.16 acres. In the Tokeneke Association, the property sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and presents a Hamptons-style East Coast character with light, bright interiors, whites and creams, and enduring architectural details. An oversized kitchen is positioned as the heart of the home, while a wrap-around porch overlooks the water. From the property, paddleboarding can reach Scott’s Cove, the lighthouse, and Ziegler’s Cove.
