Antique style, vintage charm
Marblehead’s coastal vibes lend the area a vintage charm, with classic architectural styles set on shaded, crescent streets. Among the most common types of homes are refurbished antique Colonials and remodeled colonial revivals. Cape Cods are also common, along with the occasional bungalow or ranch-style also contributing to the old-school vibe. The area’s walkable historic district also consists of a number of larger antique properties that have been converted into condominiums, among other residential and commercial uses. Prices for a single-family, 3-bedroom home range from $515,000 for a Cape Cod to $1.3 million for an antique Colonial. Larger waterfront homes can go for excess of $2.5 million.
