Truly one of the most picturesque waterfront settings on the North Shore. The location, perched 35’ above the sea level (the old site of Marblehead’s Fountain Inn) commands a stunning panorama of nearly 180 degrees looking over Little Harbor’s Gerry island, Baker's Island, Children's Island, Fort Sewall and the entrance to Marblehead’s main harbor. Picture yourself living here – smell the salt air as you wake each morning. It is easy to escape into the natural beauty of the coast. Each day is unique with the changing tides and weather. The local wild life changes with the seasons. The telltale sign for a school of Striped Bass or Bluefish is the flock of gulls in a feeding frenzy over the turbulent water above the school of fish. In the winter the eiders and swans join the mallard ducks and herring gulls. Walk into town for lunch or to meet friends for coffee. This is life at 8 Fountain Inn Lane!
