About This Home

As of February 2024

This turn-key, adorable nesting spot is quietly tucked in the birches above Rockport Harbor right in the heart of Rockport village. An exceptional pied-a-terre for a get-away retreat or year-round living. Easy as a first-time home purchase, a retirement goal or a smart rental investment with a rental history, this home checks all of the boxes. Small yet packing a big punch with an efficient kitchen, two bedrooms and two baths and an awesome attached two car garage offering extra storage space. Summers spent on the oversized back deck make this quiet side street home something to take a look at.
