About This Home
As of August 2022Beautifully sited in the Historic District of Rockport Village is this 1850's 3 bedroom Greek Revival. The amenities are exceptional throughout this beautifully appointed treasure, it is blocks away from the Rockport Harbor, the Library, The Rockport Opera House, and fine dining. This refined 3 story classic has an advanced Geo Thermal system for heating and cooling. A three bay garage/barn is plumbed for town sewer and water with potential for a studio on the second floor. A blue stone terrace and patio are surrounded by exquisite plantings. A private knoll behind the barn would be a splendid place for a pool.
