One of Swampscott's most extraordinary restorations has resulted in this truly elegant home which proudly displays the graciousness and fine artisanship of yesteryear melded seamlessly with modern amenities. Further enhanced by the greenspace of 1.9-acre Linscott Park and ocean views, this grande dame of the Olmstead Historic District is a gem. The MBR Suite includes a cozy fireplace and wet bar nook, a separate office room, an adjoining spa-like bath, and a sun porch. The main living area is awe-inspiring with a large new kitchen that opens to the original butler's pantry into a gracious dining room with original flame birch paneling, leaded glass windows, and leaded glass pocket doors. A stunning sitting room delights with hand-painted murals, and you will bask in ocean views from the grand living room and spectacular front porch. A studio/yoga room presides over the third floor with an eyebrow window overlooking the park! So close to the train and town!
