About This Home
Waterview living at its finest! Ideally located just off Gloucester's iconic Boulevard and minutes from the marina, this beautifully updated first-floor, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium offers the ease and convenience of one-level living along with spectacular water views from both the front and rear of the home. Enjoy sweeping views of the Boulevard from the front and the picturesque Annisquam River from the back, where you can watch a daily parade of boats traveling to and from the Blynman Bridge/Cut Bridge. Relax on the private deck and take in the ever-changing waterfront scenery. Inside, the updated kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and ample workspace, while gleaming hardwood floors run throughout. The dining area's wall of windows captures stunning water views and fills the space with natural light. Generous closet space can be found throughout, including walk-in closets in both bedrooms. Being sold fully furnished, including household items, this turnkey property allows for an effortless move-in experience. Additional amenities include in-unit laundry, one off-street parking space, and a substantial private storage area in the basement. Walk to the beach, local restaurants, and Stage Fort Park while enjoying the benefit of low condominium association fees. Please note the association does not carry flood insurance; therefore, a cash buyer is required. A rare opportunity to embrace coastal living in one of Gloucester's most sought-after locations.
