Listing broker remarks

Quintessential Rockport Antique (c.1800) with modern systems and serious hobby space. Renovated first floor offers true one-level living with living room, updated full bath, and generous primary bedroom. Radiant oil heat on both floors keeps the home consistently warm and comfortable. Kitchen includes an industrial-style stainless multi-burner stove and practical work area. Upstairs are two simple bedrooms and an updated full bath. The standout is the oversized gambrel garage: tall 2-car bay with lift for 3-car storage, large workshop plus bonus space above, already plumbed for a future bath—great potential studio, office, or storage (buyer to verify uses). All this near Rockport Village, beaches, and shops.— RE/MAX Beacon
