About this home

Treasured by the same family since 1964, the unobstructed, open ocean views await as you navigate your way through charming Lanesville to Ship's Bell Road. Leave city life behind and drink in the Atlantic's power as it entices you beyond the sliding doors onto the wraparound decks. This solid, two bedroom, one bath deck-style home has made many family memories of lively days at the beach, hikes through Dog Town and Halibut Point as well as quiet afternoons reading long novels on the deck. Enjoy access to a private, natural swimming quarry with vistas across Ipswich Bay to the New Hampshire coast. On chilly nights, the fireplace becomes another gathering spot to share the day's events. Bring your imagination … this home is in need of a new caretaker … could it be you?
