About This Home
As of January 2025Located just steps from Marblehead Harbor, this unique 3 bedroom,31/2bath antique home has been renovated to combine the ambiance of its antiquity (classic 18th c. mantles, rich wood paneling, fireplaces, exposed beams, wide pine floors) with the conveniences and amenities that today's buyers want & expect (upgraded kitchen/open to fam room, new baths). The property's' large & private backyard is an exceedingly rare find in “Old Town” Marblehead offering great outdoor living & entertaining spaces with several stone patios, winding pathways, a fishpond, mature plantings & trees including evergreens, holly bushes, rhododendrons & a towering 65+ year old Redwood planted by one of the home’s former owners. Completing this backyard oasis is a rear entry to the property that includes 3-4 car parking/boat storage and a large shed /workshop for all your boat gear, bikes and more! From Fort Sewall you can enjoy sunrises,sunsets& views over the harbor&the islands. Walk to shops,restaurants,&more
