The main floor has a living room with fireplace/wood stove insert, formal dining room, center playroom/den, an eat-in kitchen with wood stove & sliders to the oversized sun-filled back deck, a laundry& a half bath.

  • Msherman48
    "It’s Marblehead, an almost 400 year old fishing village on Massachusetts Bay. We have a small town but urban “walking” downtown on a spectacularly beautiful natural harbor. This is the real thing! And, it’s only a short hop to Boston, America’s intellectual capital city. If it didn’t have a cold winter, the whole world would want to live here!"
  • Cynshor
    "Takes a little while to get out of Marblehead and through surrounding Salem and Swampscott. Worth every minute on the ride home when you hit the water views."
