Listing broker remarks

This harbor front home offers what few water front properties can: a daily connection to the ever-changing rhythm of Marblehead Harbor! Positioned on the town side of the harbor, it captures sweeping 180-degree views of the harbor entrance, Fort Sewall, Children's Island, Chandler Hovey Park, Marblehead Neck Lighthouse, and the constant activity of sailboats, fishing vessels, and pleasure craft. The house is designed to engage with the waterfront with large windows framing the view. A 31'x32' seaside patio, unusually shaped like the prow of a ship, plus a third floor deck overlooking the harbor with an adjacent beach for swimming & kayaking complete the water draw. The approximately 2,500 sq. ft. home features a living/dining room, kitchen, den or office, 2 additional bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a spectacular third-floor Great Room with built-in bookshelves, wet bar, dumbwaiter, exposed-brick wood burning fireplace and direct deck access. A rare opportunity to experience harbor living!— Compass
