About this home

The perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The 'Old Marblehead Schoolhouse', circa 1800, retains its farmhouse exterior and is now a renovated 4 bed 2 bath remodeled home. Very high ceilings, open floor plan, pendant lighting and top of the line appliances. Oversized windows let light pour in, and the farmhouse porch overlooks an expansive yard. Main floor opens to a mud room area and a thoughtfully laid out gorgeous kitchen w/island. An extended dining and living room space and 3 bedrooms with full bath complete the area. 2nd floor has the master suite with walk-in closet, stunning bath w/skylight, laundry and office. Ideally located, 1 mile to Devereux Beach, or Old Town, less than that to the Bell Elementary, Vets Middle School, Tower and High School. Newer heating and hot water system (3 years), programmable thermostat, Ring system, 1 car garage. Showings start Friday evening.
