About this home

Located in one of the most coveted neighborhoods of Marblehead, this home is the original home on Peach’s Point. On the outskirts of Old Town and 200 yards from Grace Oliver’s beach and low-tide walk out to Brown’s Island, this five bedroom, three and a half bath home is the perfect mix of old and new. The classic charm of a New England antique farm house with original features from 1715, is matched with modern updates like central air, a heated and cooled two car attached garage with living space above and updates throughout the home. Meticulously cared for by the same owner for more than 25 years; not only is there room to play, but two in-home office spaces, a private and beautifully landscaped yard with wonderful outside living spaces enhance this property. Generously sized screened in porch overlooking landscaped yard.This home is a special and rare offering, across from 48 acres of town conservation land. Additional photos and information available upon request.
