There is even a 4th bedroom option that the office provides. Two full bathrooms on the bedroom level plus a linen closet with a laundry chute. The property also provides wonderful opportunities for outdoor enjoyment, with a three-season porch, deck, and backyard.

The basement offers practical amenities, including soapstone laundry sinks and space for a beach shower.

Set in a wonderful, established neighborhood close to recreation, schools, beaches, dining, and everyday amenities, this cherished home offers a special opportunity to enjoy the best of Marblehead living.
Clifton, located between Marblehead Harbor and Salem Harbor, is a coastal and residential Marblehead neighborhood with rocky shoreline views and winding, stone-walled lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Causeway at Lafayette Street, where harbor breezes meet a steady rhythm of walkers, cyclists, and small-boat traffic. Saltbox and shingle-style homes sit beside pocket gardens and granite outcrops, giving the streetscape a distinctly maritime New England feel. The Marblehead Rail Trail adds a car-free corridor for daily routines. Community touchstones include The Landing Restaurant, Maddie’s Sail Loft, and the Marblehead Museum.
