Listing broker remarks

Nothing says Marblehead quite like living in the heart of Historic Old Town. Set on picturesque State Street, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom, three-bathroom home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and a flexible floor plan ideal for year-round living, a weekend retreat, downsizing, or first-time buyers. Filled with natural light, the sun-drenched eat-in kitchen features white cabinetry, soapstone counters, and plenty of room to gather. Inviting living spaces feature 9-foot ceilings, recently refinished hardwood floors, designer sconces, custom built-ins, and abundant closet space. All three bathrooms have been renovated, along with convenient second-floor laundry. The vaulted third floor is full of character, with exposed brick, original beams said to be ship ballast dating to the 1700s, a bedroom, bath, loft sitting area, and additional flexible loft space. Fresh interior and exterior paint, updated 200-amp electrical service, gas FHA heat, and central A/C make the home truly move-in ready. Outside, classic window boxes and a private fenced brick courtyard reminiscent of a garden, with a built-in fire pit and stone walls, create an unexpected retreat in the heart of Old Town, with direct access from both the home and street. Moments from Maddie's, The Landing, Crocker Park, Crosby's Market, Farine Bakery, Mookie's Coffee, boutiques, and everything Old Town Marblehead has to offer.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Marblehead
