COME SPEND A FEW WEEKS IN MARBLEHEAD- in the exclusive Peach's Point neighborhood overlooking the North Atlantic. Watch everything from luxury liners to kayaks drift by as you gaze over a magnificent seascape from our party sized deck- or, for that matter, from any room in the house! Guests in July of '09 watched the tall ships parade past the house on their way from Boston to Halifax. Pine trees, cliffs, coves, islands, and open ocean beyond... Lighthouses, lobster boats, yachts, and sailboats... Sea gulls, seals, and occasional swans complete the picture. It looks more like the coast of Down East Maine, but it's all right here- less than 20 miles from the city! 
 
OUR TOWN... Marblehead is an artist/fishing/yachting community on a peninsula along Boston's beautiful North Shore. Our house is on a private dead-end road at the very tip of that peninsula. From here you can wander the winding narrow streets past the harbor front and experience a festival at one of our seaside parks. Old sea captains' mansions, restaurants, shops, and the village grocery store are all within walking distance. The original painting "SPIRIT OF '76" hangs in our town hall. Bicycle to historic Salem, with it's newly renovated Peabody Essex Museum, House of Seven Gables, and Witch Museums. Drive to nearby sites of the American Revolution, Cape Anne, or spend a day shopping in Boston. Gloucester, setting for "THE PERFECT STORM", is visible across the harbor. The dunes of Cape Cod are a two hour drive south, the ski slopes of New Hampshire's White Mountains are two hours north, and Maine is only one hour to the northeast. New York City is four hours away. 
 
ABOUT THE HOUSE... From our landscaped driveway surrounded by gardens, walk up several steps to a small deck, past the six person hot tub, and into the first floor of the house. This secondary, but often used side entry leads to two bedrooms- one with a king sized bed, the other with a queen- each with its own bath, both with amazing water views. There is also a laundry/storage room, complete with a washer and dryer.  
 
With the bedrooms on the lower level, living spaces occupy the second floor- offering a higher vantage point above the water. You'll find the front entry, new kitchen, dining, living room [with vaulted ceiling and nautical decor] all in an open arrangement around a central fireplace. A half bath and a series of storage/pantry closets complete the interior, but it's the 20 ft. x 40 ft. exterior deck with its commanding ocean view that is the main attraction of this floor. A new pergola provides shade for half the deck and a little rain cover above the gas grill. Lay back in the hammock or have dinner overlooking the cove. 
 
The roof line of the house follows the steep contour of the land up to our newly renovated third floor. There is a small office/library in a loft overlooking the living room- along with a second [smaller] exterior deck. Behind a door is a large entertainment/guest suite with cathedral ceiling, kitchenette [small fridge and microwave], 60 inch flat screen TV, fold-out couch, and a bathroom [shower]. Some of the best ocean views are from up here. A spiral stair wraps upward to a small loft with a king sized bed and two twins. There's a separate rear entry, making this room more like an apartment that sleeps a family of five. The entire home is very neat, newly renovated, fully stocked, fully furnished, and has cable TV/DVD in most rooms. An ELECTRIC-GLIDE inclined lift assists the elderly between the lower and middle level.  
 
Come explore New England from this wonderful vacation house- or just relax on the deck while you enjoy the cool ocean breezes and magnificent views. Follow the stone steps down to our neighborhood beach- part of a protected cove, directly below. Kids love tide pooling- discovering small marine life as the water rises and recedes each day. The plastic shovels, pales, kayaks and water toys are waiting!

* ELECTRIC-GLIDE stair lift for the disabled or elderly allows access between the fist and second levels only. * Seldom used central air conditioning on top floor only- natural ocean breezes and fans provide comfort most often. * Full kitchen with granite countertops on living level, smaller kitchenette for entertaining on top floor. * Six person hot tub conveniently located outside two bedrooms and laundry room. * Working fireplace in living room and [gas] fire pit on deck, along with gas grill. * Exterior hot shower available for rinsing off beach sand before entering the hot tub or house. * Wi-Fi Internet and free phone calls within USA and Canada. * Local cleaning and laundry service available for scheduling and payment by tenant.

WALK, BIKE, OR JUST ROLL OUT OF BED TO ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES LISTED ABOVE, PLUS MORE! The bikes and kayaks are right here on site. The bike trails in Marblehead double as cross country ski trails in the winter- and we have the skis and snow shoes right here for you. That small wooded island closest to the property [shown in photos] is Massachusetts Conservation Land and is easily accessible across a sand bar at low tide- a pristine gem right in our front yard! Don't want to drive your car into Boston for the day?... Walk down the street to the bus- it's easy and convenient. The North Shore Mall is located just on the other side of historic downtown Salem. Most of the mountain activities are a few hours north in New Hampshire and Maine. Don grew up hiking, rafting, and skiing there and is still very involved.
