Property description
Welcome to the last remaining Second Empire building, built in the 1860’s & lovingly restored. Located on a hillside, in the heart of the picturesque seaside village of Annisquam & overlooking the east shore of upper Lobster Cove. Launch your kayak directly across the street. Own a piece of history in the home where playwrights Russell Crouse & Howard Lindsay wrote the musical, The Sound of Music. You will be impressed by the period details, spacious rooms & the grand, yet comfortable feel of the home. The grounds feature a lovely waterfall, fountain & plenty of space for entertaining. A 2 car carriage-style garage & a separate building, perfect for a yoga or artist's studio, sit at the rear of the property. This home is set in a private, estate setting, yet is within a mile of the Annisquam Lighthouse, Cambridge Beach and Annisquam Yacht Club. Private showings will be scheduled with pre-approved buyers following COVID-19 guidelines. Please see the virtual tour & floor plans attached.
