43 Ancient Hwy

At the heart of Plaice Cove-one of the NH Seacoast’s most treasured beaches, sits Tidewatch, a rare seaside retreat curated for comfort, charm, and effortless coastal living. Steps to the sand, this exceptional home captures the ocean breezes and relaxed moments on the porch with sun rises over the Atlantic. Properties of this caliber and proximity to the shoreline are rarely available in Plaice Cove. Completely renovated in 2008 by architect Bruce Miller, Dockham Builder, and Gauthier-Stacy, and featured in Better Homes & Gardens (2015) and New England Home (2012), Tidewatch blends timeless craftsmanship with modern ease. Cedar shake siding, Jeld-Wen Arch Series windows, custom lighting, central A/C, FHA heat, and natural gas provide year-round efficiency and comfort. A white picket fence welcomes you to the iconic covered porch with swing and integrated speakers. Inside, radiant heated brick floors greet you in the foyer, mudroom, and laundry room with double washer sets. A first-floor bedroom and full bath create a comfortable and private guest retreat. The open main level is designed for gathering and entertaining, featuring a kitchen anchored by an oversized antique shop counter island, two dishwashers, beadboard ceilings, cozy reading nook, dry bar, and dining area. The screened porch with Harvey Bravo window system invites ocean air and converts to glass for cooler days and shoulder seasons. With six bedrooms — including a stunning primary suite with cathedral ceilings, sitting area, private laundry, and bath with pebble stone shower-ample space for family and friends to gather and linger. Thoughtfully designed across multiple levels, the home offers both privacy and inviting gathering spaces. Outside, enjoy a bocce court, outdoor shower, custom Cape Cod beach shed, irrigation, on demand generator and brick driveway with parking for 4–5 cars. Pre-inspected for peace of mind.
