A classic East Gloucester cape atop 'Beacon Hill', the highest point on Cape Ann. Within moments to beaches, restaurants, galleries, Gloucester harbor and the Gloucester Stage. From this hilltop vantage point there are views over 90 +/- resplendent acres of conservation land with trails and a pond to enjoy year round.  This eight room, three bedroom and two and one half bath home is set in a private, peaceful setting within close proximity of downtown Gloucester. The grounds are organically landscaped with gardens among granite out-croppings evoking the timeless charm and understated elegance of a traditional summer retreat while offering a residence that has been renovated. This 1950s cape is both grand and welcoming, with exquisite custom trim, attractive built-in features, one fireplace, and a fine balance of large, open rooms and intimate smaller spaces. This is an ideal setting for the outdoor enthusiast to enjoy Cape Ann. Additional 40,039 SF of land available for $150,000.
