Listing broker remarks

Rarely does an antique home undergo such a thoughtful renovation while remaining true to its character. Built in 1849 and extensively renovated/ expanded in 2023, this Old Town residence blends historic charm with timeless design. A welcoming front porch and Dutch door open to a thoughtfully designed mudroom where everything has its place. Exposed beams, original moldings, refinished wood floors and a dual fireplace between the living/dining rooms honor the home's history. The custom kitchen features Crown Point cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, quartz countertops and opens seamlessly to the dining room for effortless entertaining. A family room addition and primary suite with cathedral ceilings and built-ins were designed to feel original to the home. Updates include a new roof, windows, gas heating, central AC, renovated kitchen and baths. Rare flat, fenced yard with brick patio, shed and expanded brick driveway. Timeless character and craftsmanship - without compromise.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Marblehead
