Listing broker remarks

COASTAL LIVING, BEAUTIFULLY REIMAGINED! Just moments from Preston Beach, 89 Gale Road offers a rare combination along the Swampscott coastline: sophisticated design, exceptional privacy, ocean views and the ability to live beautifully on one level.Completely rebuilt to the studs and expanded by Groom Construction in 2018, the home was created with an emphasis on light, openness and effortless everyday living. The main level unfolds around a stunning chef’s kitchen with an oversized island, opening to generous dining and living spaces and a large deck beyond. Walls of windows bring the outdoors in, while the professionally landscaped grounds create a private backdrop for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying life by the coast.The first-floor primary suite is a standout—spacious and serene, with a beautifully appointed bath, an extraordinary dressing room and separate walk-in closet. A private home office, laundry and direct access to the two-car garage make daily living remarkably easy, with everything needed on one level.The second floor adds tremendous flexibility with three additional bedrooms and a large family room, creating abundant space for guests, family or a second home office. Above it all, a rooftop deck offers a spectacular setting for morning coffee, summer evenings or simply taking in the ocean air.Tucked into a private seaside neighborhood surrounded by beautiful homes, 89 Gale Road is substantial without feeling overwhelming, refined without being formal, and designed for the way people want to live today. A special coastal home just moments from the beach.— Compass
