8 Marbee Rd, Rockport

Listing broker remarks

A .3 mile stroll to Old Garden Beach, an easy jaunt into downtown Rockport, and a backyard built for the season — this is summer on a quiet cul-de-sac, in one of Cape Ann's most coveted beach neighborhoods. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home centers on a private, landscaped third of an acre with a Gunite in-ground pool resurfaced in 2022, ready for years of summers.  This home offers a true Rockport rarity: parking for a crowd, with room for 5 cars in the two driveways, plus the attached two-car garage. Inside, the sun-filled main level flows from the center-island kitchen through the dining room to a living room anchored by a wood stove for the off-season. Upstairs, the primary suite opens through glass doors onto its own newly rebuilt deck overlooking the pool; three more bedrooms and a full bath complete the level. The lower level adds a flexible bonus room with full bath — office, gym, or guest quarters — along with laundry, generous storage, and direct entry from the garage. Best of all, the big-ticket work is done: brand-new roof, central air with a brand-new condenser, freshly painted exterior. Unpack, swim, and be at the beach by breakfast.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
