Historic "Shipyard" area of Town with peaks of Marblehead Harbor. Walk to Marine Corp Park, Marblehead and Dolphin Yacht Clubs, shops, beaches, parks, and restaurants. House is a "fixer upper" with huge potential in a great location. The attic has approximately 600 s.f. of stand up room with interior staircase access...perfect for expansion. There is rare side by side three car parking and an approximate 3500 square foot fenced back yard with great potential for expansion and/or fun for pets and family. Take note of the plot plan showing that the foot print of the building is approximately less than a third of the total lot square footage, and is located to the very front of the lot. The house has some historical history, but it is not in the Historic District making improvements less complicated.The kitchen is updated, has exterior access from the back yard, recessed lighting, corian counter tops, new sink, and high quality wood cabinets. The laundry service is located in the kitchen.
