Listing broker remarks

Sought-after Brier Neck retreat with sweeping ocean views is offered publicly for the first time in decades. Moments from Good Harbor Beach, named by Travel & Leisure among the 25 Best Beaches in the U.S. for its sugar-soft sand and walk-to–Salt Island allure. Ownership to the low-water mark includes a private stretch at the end of the beach. This expanded Cape sits above tiered, playful grounds and thoughtfully designed perennial gardens that offer beauty with low maintenance. Granite ledge and lapping waves frame a naturally elevated setting outside the flood zone. At its heart is a remodeled chef’s kitchen with high-end Miele and Bertazzoni appliances and a beautifully textured granite work surface that invites real craft. Life here is about experiences: sunrise coffee over ocean panoramas, effortless beach days, storm watching, moonrises, and breezy summer evenings. Minutes to Gloucester’s vibrant dining, arts, and music, with easy access to 128 and Beverly Regional Airport.— Engel & Volkers By the Sea
