Enjoy sunsets over the water from every room of this sparkling new house on Lanes Cove in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The house will comfortably accommodate a family of four. But it’s also perfect for as a romantic and extra-spacious getaway for two.
The open plan living/dining area has a 42" plasma TV, ceiling fans, lots of windows, and a large dining table that can accomodate six. The well-equipped kitchen is open to the living area and has a range, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, lobster pot, plenty of pantry room, and a washer/dryer. Wraparound deck can be accessed from every room.
In the warm weather, relax on the beach, fish, kayak, sail, hike, bike, or just enjoy the sweeping water view, all right from your front doorstep. Dine on freshly caught lobsters from the boats that return to the cove. Downtown Gloucester, a scenic fishing port, offers excellent restaurants, shopping, nightlife, whale watch and deep-sea fishing excursions. During the cooler months, there is still so much to explore on Cape Ann. We are adjacent to miles of hiking trails that are dotted with picturesque quarries. Shop in the quaint village of Rockport. Also nearby is Essex, birthplace of the fried clam, which boasts 34 antique stores all within walking distance of each other. Historic Salem's rich history dates back to 1692, visit the Peabody Essex Museum there or take the high-speed catamaran into Boston. Cape Ann is truly a precious vacation spot.

The layout of this place is ideal. The two private wings with the living space in the center make it a great choice for two parties. The location is also great, close to the Plum Cove Grind, and with beautiful views. Beautifully maintained, clean and cheerful.

It will be a very memorable 13th birthday for our daughter. We carved our pumpkin here and did the Massachusetts history puzzle on a rainy day. When the weather cleared, we had fun exploring Salem and the Halloween happenings there. Thanks Steve for sharing your home, and for the flashlights when the rainstorm left us all in the dark!
