About this home

The Thatcher House. Phenomenal views. Striking location. Attractive home. Flourishing grounds. Undeniably one of the most wonderful direct waterfront locations on Cape Ann, with the Twin Lighthouses of Thatcher Island in full view. With over 170 feet of direct ocean frontage. Imagine being here on a typically beautiful day, with the contrasting blues of sky and sea combining with an array of colors from lawns to blossoms and the magnificent light show of the sunrises as the property faces due east. This light-filled, 3+ bedroom home boasts many updates and has been beautifully maintained by the same family for 20 years. Less than an hour drive from Logan Airport and served by commuter rail, Rockport is a destination New England coastal town that is renowned for its natural beauty, pristine beaches, public parklands and vigorous art, entertainment and business communities.
