Water views unfold from every room, while each bedroom opens to its own private balcony overlooking the river. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a front-row perspective of the ever-changing waterfront.At the heart of the home, a spacious, light-filled living and dining area offers an open layout framed by expansive water views and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Built-in shelving and a wet bar create an inviting setting for entertaining, while the generous kitchen features an eat-in island and adjoining breakfast nook, all oriented toward the scenery beyond.Step directly from the main living area onto an expansive 414-square-foot waterfront deck, creating a seamless extension of the home for dining, entertaining, or simply watching boats make their way along the Annisquam. An outdoor shower and one-car garage add convenience to a property designed for effortless waterfront living.Just seven minutes from downtown Gloucester yet surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the river, this is a distinctive opportunity to experience one of Cape Ann’s most extraordinary waterfront settings.— Churchill Properties
