About this House

Set on 1.23 acres of private waterfront looking out to Nahant’s iconic Egg Rock, this historic estate was built ca. 1890 by well-known builder Joseph T. Wilson, who constructed many of the North Shore’s grandest homes during the late 1800’s era of ‘summer cottages.’ The grandeur of the original mansion remains intact, its spectacular architecture and rich period detail preserved while incorporating 21st century updates to create a luxurious seaside compound. With eight bedrooms, six full and two half bathrooms, and 8,947 sf of living space on three levels, including a two and a half story great room opening to the oceanfront terrace and grounds, plaster ceilings with ornate medallions, tall Palladian windows, and elaborate woodwork throughout, this residence is built to a standard of craftsmanship and scale rarely found today. Ideally located 20 minutes from Logan Airport and downtown Boston, easily accessible to highways and commuter rail, this is an extraordinary property.

    "We've lived in Nahant for 10 years. Many families have been here for generations. Based on a variety of criteria, it was voted safest community in the country in Coastal Living Magazine. No matter where you live, the ocean and a beach are just a short walk away. Nahant has beautiful, historic, old NewEngland homes to simple beach cottages (and everything in between). Many people liken it to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. It's a quaint, little town, where people love to get outside and walk their dogs, and stop to talk with neighbors. There are several walking trails, that include an Audibon, Bird Sanctuary, and a park along the ocean. It's a great place to raise a family and have your children grow up with memories of living by the ocean. For dining, there are 2 restaurants (one small one near the end of the island, and the other at the causeway with water views). Not only all of this, there ARE affordable homes for sale. "
