This stately home beckons with its rich history and coastal allure. Imagine waking up to salty air and the promise of Good Harbor Beach just a stone’s throw away. Influenced by Charles Bulfinch, the home was once part of Boston’s architectural heritage and found its new home in Gloucester. With grand mahogany stairs and mid-19th century moldings, this Mansard Colonial whispers of lost Boston mansions in its doors and windows. The front-to-back living room is adorned with marble fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling bookcases. The kitchen, with breakfast room and pantry, invites culinary adventures. Outside, granite outcroppings and gardens grace the spacious yard and the wrap around porch always finds a gentle breeze. A magical setting for life’s cherished memories, the heart of this home beats with joy. 31 Beach Road—where history, casual elegance, and seaside living converge..
