Annisquam's Buoy 23: 4BR Waterfront w/Dock

This renovated and updated waterfront gem has four bedrooms and 1.5 baths, a deepwater dock(accommodates up to a 20 foot boat) and a wrap around screened porch where one can sit and watch the glimmering water, wildlife and passing boats go by on the tidal Annisquam River. At high tide swim from the dock or the shore directly in front of the house and at low tide there is great swimming from the sand bar. The sunny modern eat-in kitchen has gas cooking, a dishwasher and full size washer/drier with a half bath. The dining room seats 8 and is open onto the living area which has a huge new sectional and 50 inch flat screen TV complete with a high end sound system and DVD. The screen porch is pure heaven for sitting during the day, or for those who wish, sleeping on those warm summer nights. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms (two with views of the water) with new linens and decor and a completely renovated custom tiled full bathroom with tub and shower. The owner is adding air conditioning units in almost every room of the house this summer. Outside there is are lovely newly landscaped front and back yards and plenty of parking as well as an outdoor hot and cold water shower. This is the waterfront vacation you have been dreaming of!

Gloucester is America’s oldest seaport, settled in 1623. Situated at the center of Cape Ann, Gloucester has one of the finest harbors in Massachusetts and remains one of the busiest fishing ports on the Eastern seaboard. Visitors are drawn to Gloucester’s rich history, natural beauty, incredible beaches, fresh seafood, and on-water activities, such as the popular whale watch excursions. Gloucester also hosts a sizeable number of artists on Rocky Neck, the oldest working art colony in America. This beautiful city holds within its limits three smaller villages. Lanesville can be found on the way out of Gloucester between Ipswich Bay and the historic woods of Dogtown. It is a very charming and eccentric village whose community hardly strays from the shore. Annisquam is located just minutes off scenic route 127, which wraps around Cape Ann. Annisquam’s center village has the atmosphere of a quaint family-oriented New England retreat. Magnolia is a village located just above Manchester-by-the-Sea in the southernmost part of Gloucester and boasts some of the best sweeping views of Cape Ann. Gloucester is composed of a diverse group of year-round and summer families who have been drawn to Cape Ann for generations because of its traditional beauty and livelihood.
