Despite being in the middle of the town’s burgeoning cultural and dining scene, just steps from world-renowned Shalin-Liu Performance Center and the many galleries, shops, and restaurants of Rockport’s picturesque Main Street, the location provides a sense of being tucked away at water’s edge. A rare opportunity to own a landmark property that hasn’t changed hands in generations, with many possible uses as continued lodging, a restaurant, or an in-town vacation home—any of which will let you realize the dream of waterfront living in one of the North Shore’s most desirable seaside communities. Units include decks overlooking Front Beach and two compact car parking spaces.
