Wake up to harbor views, spend your evenings watching Fourth of July fireworks from your private third-floor deck, and enjoy the best of downtown Gloucester from one of its most unique homes. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home offers 1,568 square feet of living space across three distinctive levels, creating a layout that feels remarkably spacious and full of character. Multiple rooms feature ceilings over 9 feet high, adding to the home's open, airy feel, while the top-floor office overlooks Gloucester Harbor, making working from home anything but ordinary. The renovated kitchen features a center island with bar seating, white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living spaces. Step outside to a backyard designed for enjoying the coastal lifestyle, with a fire pit for summer nights, an outdoor shower after a day at the beach, and a convenient side dog run for four-legged family members. Just steps from Main Street's shops, restaurants, galleries, and waterfront, less than a mile from St. Peter's Fiesta, and approximately 1.5 miles from Good Harbor Beach, this home offers an exceptional combination of coastal charm, downtown walkability, outdoor living, and privacy. A dry basement with approximately 375 square feet of storage adds valuable functionality.
