3 Bedroom House in Gloucester

VACATION or WORK or do a bit of both if it means you'll have longer to play here on Cape Ann! The preferred spot for all things is the sunroom chaise overlooking the harbor, but there are also two spacious desk areas including one in the living room which can be closed off for privacy while your family enjoys the rest of the house! (Then, of course, go to the beach!) Vaccination preferred, though no longer required.
WELCOME
From this convenient in-town location enjoy restful refinement while also delighting in being part of the Gloucester experience. This 2800 sq ft, easy-to-live-in home is perched above the sparkling waters of Gloucester's inner harbor. Watch the gulls soar and fishing boats return from the comfort of your enclosed sunporch or adjacent outdoor deck, family room or spacious, fully-equipped kitchen. Or fire up some tasty burgers on our new gas grill on the patio overlooking the garden.
Walk an easy five to ten minutes to great restaurants, our favorite whale watch boat, schooner sailing, harbor water shuttle, fun and funky shops, and maritime and art museums. In a five minute drive, you can also be at Good Harbor Beach, Niles Beach, Rocky Neck Art Colony or the commuter rail to Boston.
With a peaceful décor and open floor plan, guests tell us this is an especially comfortable place to call home.

Summary: Kathy was a terrific host and this home is lovely. It is large with multiple living spaces, very clean, organized and inviting. The Sun Room got the most use so we could watch the fishing boats come and go and just enjoy each others company. The kitchen is a dream - quite large with everything you need and then some! The primary bedroom and ensuite bath was perfect for us. The king size bed was quite comfortable with high quality linens (so important and appreciated!). The weather was not the best the week we were there so we utilized the wood-burning stove and it was delightful. Warmed up the whole first floor. The home is close to everything in Gloucester! The train station, downtown, restaurants and the harbor are all within a 5-7 minute drive. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Kathy left a wealth of information on the area, the beaches, restaurants, etc. which was greatly appreciated. When we had a couple rainy days, she had indoor recommendations as well - we went Candle pin bowling for the first time and had a blast (also 5 minutes away)! Rockport is less that 15 minutes - we thoroughly enjoyed Halibut Point State Park and my son enjoyed downtown Rockport. We walked the Harbor walk out to Stage Fort Park. The train made the commute to Salem (30min) and Boston (60min) very convenient. Kathy was very accommodating, and very responsive to my texts, questions or requests. I would highly recommend this home and Kathy.
