About This Home

As of August 2025

Splendid mid-19th century farmhouse fully updated for 21st century living, ideally located in Rockport’s coveted South End, moments from Rockport Harbor, Old Garden Beach, Rockport Golf Club and downtown. This pristine 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home honors its pedigree while adding modern amenities that facilitate multi-generational living and entertaining. The home’s traditional floor plan evokes a more genteel era, with such formal elements as a lovely wrap-around porch, sitting room, library/den, sunroom, and family room with granite fireplace. A fully updated kitchen with breakfast nook and views of the patio and garden opens to a formal dining room. The home’s versatile floor plan would also accommodate a 1st floor primary suite and aging in place. Close to downtown Rockport with its world-class performing arts center, galleries, restaurants, and commuter rail to Boston. A turn-key year-round home or seasonal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to get into Rockport’s best neighborhood.
