About Ivan
I was born in Europe and grew up in New York City. Now I am a musician and a professor in Boston.
Ivan purchased this house in 2008
Why Ivan chose North of Boston & Greater Merrimack Valley
My oceanfront, artsy one bedroom house on 2 levels is a true hideaway. It's located completely off the street, only 12 miles from Boston. Enjoy the views, chef's kitchen, the outdoor spa and indoor Jacuzzi, fireplace and more. The house is comfortable, secluded and romantic; perfect for a couple seeking a quiet, private retreat.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you Ivan! It was our first Christmas away from family - had a splendid time. Loved the big kitchen, beautiful decks, hot tub, jacuzzi, and of course the phenomenal views. What a relaxing, refreshing and romantic Christmas.
Happy New Year!

New England stay
We really liked this place. It had a wonderful view and the neighborhood was quite. The deck was a great feature.
Boston Vacation
The overall experience was very good. The home was close to all the destinations we had planned to visit during our stay in Massachusetts. The views were amazing especially from the master suite. It was a very comfortable place to end our day. The layout of the home is very good and you can see the ocean from almost every room. However, I may suggest a few changes. Too many plants. Most are not even healthy plants. Without them the space would seem cleaner and less cluttered. The kitchen could use a deep clean. I realize that the summer season is just starting but the refrigerator and pull out pantry were both filthy dirty. Also, if you are going to stock the unit with items for your quest to use you may want to check the "use by dates" many items were expired. Two more things, we usually travel with our own pillows but we forgot them. Ivan, buy new pillows. The ones in the unit are old and stained. Not very comfortable or appealing at all. Overall we had a nice stay.
Relaxation at its finest.
With relaxing views sitting on the 2 balconies when sipping wine or drinking coffee one experiences a sense of peace. The house has a welcoming and homey atmosphere. We really enjoyed the option of cooking in the well appointed kitchen while also having stores and restaurants within walking distance. It truly is a home away from home and central to both Boston and the historic attractions in the country.
Wonderful place! Beautiful views, great stay.
Really enjoyed the place! Views were spectacular. Had everything we needed.
Amazing homey retreat with ocean views!
This apartment is absolutely perfect, and the owner thoughtfully keeps the kitchen equipped and stocked with condiments, cooking oil, etc., making it easy to eat in. The hot tub has amazing views, or there is a great bathtub upstairs. The fireplace was especially welcome with the March cold snap. The views from the living and bedrooms are spectacular. The owner stopped by to tell us about a minor issue and make himself available, but was not at all intrusive. We will definitely come back!
Amazing!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home!!! Clean and cozy with amazing views! We can't wait to come back!
