About This Home

As of February 2012

One of my personal favorite houses in Gloucester! This wonderful Shingle-Style Victorian Cottage harkens to a bygone era. Classic lines inside and out. Beautiful windows throughout. Fabulous Living Room with fireplace and built-in bookcases. Casually elegant dining room that flows into the fantastic new kitchen with s/s appliances. Large deck overlooks the rear gardens. The private acre lot overlooks Lobster Cove and is mere steps to the Annisquam footbridge. Private association beach.
