Oceanfront mid-century modern bungalow with floor-to-ceiling windows

The Barr House is a mid-century modern bungalow with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean. Compact but surprisingly spacious, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was designed by J. Henderson Barr - one of the architects behind the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The kitchen, dining and living room flow together around a wood-burning fireplace. Outside, a porch for slow mornings and an outdoor shower that might be the best shower you'll have all summer.

Nestled on the grounds of the historic Sharksmouth Estate, a private 40-acre woodland and oceanfront property in Manchester-by-the-Sea, this is the summer vacation home your family will want to return to year after year.

Two private paths lead to a stunning 1/3-mile shoreline of rugged rock formations and tidal pools, with views toward Coolidge Point in one direction and Boston's skyline in the other. Also on the estate: a clay tennis court, basketball hoop, open fields, woodland paths and resident goats and chickens to make every day an adventure.

When you're ready to explore beyond the estate, Ocean Street and its two beaches are in walking distance. Downtown Manchester and the rest of Cape Ann are just a short drive away, giving you access to quintessential New England summer destinations.
