The yard is an oasis with mature trees, flowering gardens, a wood-burning sauna, and rock outcroppings. Set on nearly ½ acre and abutting 600-acre Ravenswood Park, the property offers direct access to miles of trails and views of Gloucester Harbor. Just steps away is Freshwater Cove, with swimming and boating on the Outer Harbor. Nearby are Stage Fort Park, Half Moon and Cressy’s beaches, sports courts, a playground, and scenic walking paths to the Boulevard and Gloucester Center.
