Located right in the heart of the village, this sunny and inviting home offers the convenience of being able to walk to shops, restaurants, cafés, the library, commuter rail and the waterfront, while still feeling like a private retreat above it all. One of the apartment’s most special features is its private rooftop deck with wonderful views toward Manchester Harbor—the perfect spot for morning coffee, an afternoon read or simply enjoying the scenery and activity of this quintessential North Shore seaside community. Inside, the apartment is filled with character. The spacious living room features beautiful hardwood floors, dramatic exposed ceiling beams, multiple windows and abundant natural light. A generous sectional seating area makes the room comfortable for both relaxing and entertaining, while the elevated location provides lovely outlooks over the surrounding neighborhood. The apartment includes two bedrooms, offering added flexibility for guests, a home office or additional living space. Its top-floor setting, architectural details and harbor views give the residence a distinctive feel that is difficult to find in the center of town. Manchester-by-the-Sea is a wonderful place to enjoy the quieter months of the year. Singing Beach, Masconomo Park, the harbor, local restaurants and shops are all nearby, and Boston is easily accessible via the MBTA commuter rail. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for a furnished seasonal home, a temporary residence while renovating or building, or simply the chance to experience life in one of the North Shore’s most desirable coastal communities. Downtown convenience, two bedrooms and a rooftop deck with harbor views make this apartment a particularly special place for the season.
