Listing broker remarks

Some homes simply hold furniture. Others hold generations of sandy feet, late-night swims, and the kind of summer memories that seem to stretch on forever. Welcome to 8 Schooner Ridge. Tucked into Gloucester’s coveted Castleview Estates with deeded access to Coffin’s Beach, this sun-filled Acorn contemporary was designed for gathering, unwinding, and living coastal life to the fullest. Vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, and back-to-back fireplaces create warm, dramatic living spaces, while distant views of Ipswich Bay remind you the ocean is never far away. The open floor plan flows easily from kitchen to entertaining spaces to expansive outdoor decking overlooking the pool and beautifully reimagined landscaping. A spacious primary suite, finished lower level for games, workouts or guests, whole-house generator, and oversized 3-car garage complete the retreat. Beach days, pool nights, sea breezes, and space for everyone — this is the rhythm of summer on Cape Ann.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
