About This Home
As of June 2025Step into a timeless retreat along tree-lined Beach Road where summertime memories are etched in every sunbeam. This stately home beckons with its rich history and coastal allure. Imagine waking up to salty air and the promise of Good Harbor Beach just a stone’s throw away. Influenced by Charles Bulfinch, the home was once part of Boston’s architectural heritage and found its new home in Gloucester. With grand mahogany stairs and mid-19th century moldings, this Mansard Colonial whispers of lost Boston mansions in its doors and windows. The front-to-back living room is adorned with marble fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling bookcases. The kitchen, with breakfast room and pantry, invites culinary adventures. Outside, granite outcroppings and gardens grace the spacious yard and the wrap around porch always finds a gentle breeze. A magical setting for life’s cherished memories, the heart of this home beats with joy. 31 Beach Road—where history, casual elegance, and seaside living converge..
