About This Home

As of December 2022

Open House by appointment only. Immerse yourself in the history that modern day Gloucester has to offer. The Obadiah Woodbury home was built in 1853 in the heart of Downtown Gloucester. High above Main Street it allows you the convenience of care-free living where you can walk to all area amenities including countless fine restaurants, art galleries, shopping, area beaches, the Boulevard and the historic inner harbor. The Cape Ann Art Museum and Maritime Museum and MBTA commuter rail to Boston are only a five minute walk. The house itself features seventeen rooms, most all with soaring ceilings, a grand staircase and five fireplaces. This is an opportunity like no other and whether you are looking to own a single family home in downtown Gloucester that will support you well into retirement years or looking for an investment with the potential to convert into condominiums this is well worth previewing regardless of what the next chapter reveals. Offers due Tuesday 10/25 at 3:00PM.
