Experience an extraordinary way of living in one of East Gloucester's most peaceful coastal neighborhoods. Tucked among mature trees on a private nearly quarter-acre lot just moments from the Atlantic Ocean, this beautifully reimagined four-bedroom home offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and exceptional comfort. Walk to the Back Shore, Brace Cove, Niles Beach, and Marble Road Conservation Area, then return to an exceptionally quiet home naturally cooled by ocean breezes and surrounded by grapevines, an organic garden, and Cape Ann stone landscaping. Nationally recognized as Massachusetts' first positive-energy renovated home, it has quietly demonstrated what the future of living can feel like for nearly two decades. More than a home, this is a rare opportunity to own a property whose beauty, comfort, performance, and legacy are unlike anything else on the market.
