Why they chose this property
The house is on one of the original streets with a great variety of house styles. The mix of the old and new in Partridge House, albeit eclectic, is in keeping with the Rockport atmosphere. The house is just far enough away from busy downtown to feel relaxed, yet close enough for a quick jaunt to get into the midst of the town's attractions. We've already met many of our neighbors and the connections are beginning to strengthen our love for this town. We are enthusiastic about our place and look forward to nurturing and sharing its unique qualities.
What makes this property unique
Partridge House is not cookie-cutter, beige-neutral, developer lux style, or pristine. The house is a home, not a business. When you're not there, we enjoy as our shore getaway and it reflects our personal tastes with hallmarks to its past from the 1800's. Partridge House is slowly evolving and improving to ensure that it remains a great place for the next 200 years.
