Listing broker remarks

Set high on nearly an acre in one of Marblehead Neck's most prestigious locations, this 6 bedroom, 5.5 half bathroom exceptional Colonial captures lovely views of Marblehead Harbor while offering privacy, elegance, and timeless architectural appeal. A circular driveway and extraordinary landscaping introduce beautifully curated living spaces where a top-to-bottom renovation has seamlessly blended classic architectural detail with superior designer finishes throughout. From Belgium bluestone flooring to German imported glass on the bar, every detail was thoughtfully selected to the highest standard. Rich wood detailing, crisp moldings, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows frame harbor views and fill the home with natural light. Grandly scaled rooms open effortlessly to a wraparound porch, deck, and bluestone patios. A stunning pool and hot tub are perfectly positioned beside an expansive flat lawn — creating an exceptional private setting for relaxation and entertaining.— Sagan Harborside Sotheby's International Realty
