About this property

Elegant Italian Villa On The Scenic Coast of New England

Villa Fiori in scenic Manchester-by-the-sea is a short walk from local Black & White Beach and a 3 minute drive from the famous Singing Beach! Perfect for family reunions and group vacations. Only 45 minutes from Boston by train or car.

The unique Villa Fiori was designed by the same architect as the world renowned Isabela Stuart Gardner Museum in Boston as a wedding present from a father to his daughter in 1896. The historic mansion was updated over the years.

When you walk into the house you are greeted by an Italian style courtyard and grand stairway. The first floor features a formal dining room with a sunroom attached, a large eat-in kitchen with double ovens, two dishwashers, a Miele 6 burner stove top, and back porch with two grills. Perfect for entertaining. Also, on the first floor is the classic and cozy walnut paneled library filled with books and games. It is furnished with a bar, wine refrigerator, a card table, and ample seating around the fireplace and tv. The library opens up to the patio and garden. The outdoor furniture and fire-pit sit above the large lawn. The formal gardens and the surrounding woods give a sense of privacy belying the close proximity to downtown Manchester and Gloucester. Finally, there is a powder room off of the courtyard and off the back hallway there is also a laundry room with a washer, dryer and iron.

The second floor features two master bedrooms with queen sized beds and baths, two suites with double twin beds and baths, two bedrooms with double sized beds, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, and one bedroom with a twin bed. There are four full bathrooms on the second floor and one half bath that serves the third floor.

The third floor has two bedrooms, the larger featuring a queen sized bed and the second room has two twin beds.

During the summer months relax on our patio in the comfortable lawn furniture and with the outdoor fire pit that overlooks the great lawn where you can also enjoy a game of volleyball or badminton. On our back porch, have fun with the fooseball table or play some basketball on our small home court.
