A rare waterfront offering on Gloucester’s coveted Annisquam River, where an extraordinary vantage point captures sweeping views directly down the river rather than across to neighboring homes. With a Chapter 91 tidal dock at your doorstep, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers an exceptional connection to the water, from morning coffee overlooking the river to an afternoon boat ride to Wingaersheek Beach.Fully renovated with a second story added in 2012, the home was thoughtfully designed to maximize its remarkable setting. Water views unfold from every room, while each bedroom opens to its own private balcony overlooking the river. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a front-row perspective of the ever-changing waterfront.At the heart of the home, a spacious, light-filled living and dining area offers an open layout framed by expansive water views and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Built-in shelving and a wet bar create an inviting setting for entertaining, while the generous kitchen features an eat-in island and adjoining breakfast nook, all oriented toward the scenery beyond.Step directly from the main living area onto an expansive 414-square-foot waterfront deck, creating a seamless extension of the home for dining, entertaining, or simply watching boats make their way along the Annisquam. An outdoor shower and one-car garage add convenience to a property designed for effortless waterfront living.Just seven minutes from downtown Gloucester yet surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the river, this is a distinctive opportunity to experience one of Cape Ann’s most extraordinary waterfront settings.
