Property Description
Built in 1940 and lovingly held by the same family for 53 years, this traditional dutch colonial is jam packed with character. The location is fantastic with the house nestled between two quiet dead end streets, with Preston Beach at one end and the The Marblehead Rail Trail at the other! Locals might recognize the landmark dedicated to the sellers, at the beginning of the rail trail "Peggy's Park". The house itself is sprawling with 9 foot ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood flooring, original moldings, and brick archway. The first floor offers a living room, family room with exterior access, formal dining room with built- ins, eat in kitchen, office, half bathrooms, and adorable screened in porch. The second floor captures the primary suite with sitting room, three additional bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Incredible lot with planting, garden area, shed, deck, and fenced in. As a bonus one car garage, newer roof, new hot water heater, fenced yard, and recently painted!
