About this House

This sweet Cape has lots to like including being located near Wenham Lake and trails for enjoying nature right out your back door! Lots of potential for buyers looking for a solid fixer upper with good bones. Second floor bathroom has not been used for many years. Siding has some rot and the walkway cement is cracked. Pool was filled in, however decking and fill are still exposed. With some loam and seeding this backyard could be a lovely private outdoor oasis! Title Five has failed and Town is currently reviewing plans for a 4 bedroom septic. There are no appliances in the kitchen. The newer detached "garage" section of permitted shed is approx 8x13.5. It has great extra storage on the yard side and might also make a nice workshop. Come see what's to do and love over here this weekend! Offers with pre-approval please buy Tuesday at noon.

    "I take the train in. I can walk to the train so it’s convenient. Otherwise, I drive. It’s a great place to live and I recommend it to anyone commuting to the city. The drive is more difficult but doable if commuting in off hours. "

    "There is absolutely NO diversity in the neighborhood. No ethnic or economic diversity. The schools may be good, but the teachers can't afford to live in the area. The majority of the best teachers live at least 20 minutes away."

    "We've lived in wenham for almost 8 years and we couldn't be happier. Although it's small, it's very easy to get to and near everything. My family loves the small community and they can bike ride to all their friends houses. Also all the shops are adorable and the downtown hamilton is about a minute or two away if you prefer to shop there since it has a decent amount of more shops. We also love looking out at all the beautiful forests wenham has to offer when we wake up. In the winter driving down all the tree lined roads is just gorgeous. Personally and i'm sure my husband will agree moving to wenham was one of the best decisions we've made as a family. We loved beverly, but it wasn't a good fit for us. It reminded us from the city (Seattle) life we were trying to get away from. Wenham was completely different, which was what we were looking for. It wasn't all industrial buildings, train stations, hundreds of bus stops, busy roads my kids were scared to cross, and even though we love shops, there's so many my husband started to complain i shop to much. Beverly just reminded us to much about all that. We needed a change from the city and wenham was perfect for that. Less is more I say, so i think the smaller town the better. You have a chance to get to know every body since it's such a small community and i've made so many more than i've ever had in beverly since it's just so big i don't even think we saw all of it in 4 years. Moving to wenham was definitely perfect for us and i think we're going to be spending a very long time here."
