About this home

Built in the early 18th century, this light filled home at 16 Gingerbread Hill initially served as a tavern down the street from the renowned "Black Joe's Tavern". As originally built, the tavern forms the central core of the present home. In the 1940's the kitchen and the library were added and then in the 1970's the sunroom - completing the house as it stands today. Stepping around the house to the front door one is totally surprised by the magnificent grounds with expansive lawns and beautiful perennial gardens. From the back edge of the lot there are views of Doliber's Cove, Crowninshield Island, Grace Oliver's and beyond! One of Marblehead's original "Cordwainer's" Shops (later known as the play house) still stands on the lot adjacent to the right of way that leads to and from Norman St. This has been a wonderful family home for many years and now awaits a new owner - especially one who would love to enhance its antique detail and most likely add today's modern amenities.
