Sited on one of the most beautiful lots in Eastern Point, this home was one of the first summer "cottages".  Lovely and classic, it is replete with charming period details. The covered porch overlooks a beautifully landscaped yard and beyond to the serene and picturesque movement of boats on Gloucester's gorgeous harbor. Sunsets are nothing short of magnificent. The property line runs down the middle of a grass-topped granite pier where Eastern Point residents disembarked the Boston ferry at the beginning of the last century. Swimming off the attached float completes the summer experience. The 6+ bedrooms allow for an overflow of guests, and additionally there is an attic space that would make an incredible suite with unrivaled views. This home needs renovation, but should it be brought up to today's standards it would be an extraordinary world class residence. For the discerning buyer looking for a perfect setting, this is a truly unique and rare offering.
