Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Rockport
I became familiar with Rockport in 1970 and visited the beaches every year. This quaint New England town was a welcome relief from my hectic life in the city. One day in November of 2007 my son told me there was a house for sale in Rockport. He knew I loved the town and convinced me to take a ride with him. As we drove up to this cape house built in 1850 that needed a tremendous amout of TLC I thought this was a waste of time. We then pulled into the driveway and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I looked at my son and said, "We need to buy this house for the view." By June of 2008 the back of the house was torn off and replaced and the interior was completely renovated. Now as I sit on the deck and watch the sailboats go by I feel like I am living a dream come true.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Rockport is my escape. I work and live just outside of Boston. When I arrive in Rockport I instantly feel a sense of peace. I awake to a beautiful sunrise and sounds of nature. I await the day that I can call Rockport my home.
