About this home
Tucked away at the end of a private road in Gloucester's desirable Lanesville neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape is a year-round home that is ready to move into. Set on a level, private lot, the property feels peaceful and secluded, with a deck overlooking the grounds and plenty of off-street parking. The first floor offers a living room, dining area, kitchen, bedroom, half bath, laundry and an outdoor shower. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a full bath. An attached one-car garage provides convenient storage for bikes, kayaks, beach gear or everyday needs. The home is served by city water and sewer and heated with electric baseboard. Owned and enjoyed by the current owners for 25 years, the home is livable as is, but it is humble in character and does need updating. Move in now and make improvements over time to suit your own style. The setting is its greatest asset: a private spot at the end of the road in one of Gloucester's most appealing coastal areas. Lane's Cove is a short distance away, and Halibut Point is not far either. Lanesville's Village amenities, marinas, parks and the North Shore's many attractions are close by. Whether you're looking for a primary residence or a second home to enjoy part of the year, this is a rare Lanesville opportunity. Showings begin at the Open House, Saturday, October 10th and Sunday, October 11th, 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
Lanesville, located between Folly Cove and Pigeon Cove, is a coastal and village-like Gloucester neighborhood with granite ledges and pocket beaches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lanesville Village green at the intersection of Washington Street and Langsford Street, where a small cluster of local storefronts and community notices sets the pace. The Lanesville Community Center serves as a civic anchor for classes and gatherings. Cape Ann Granite’s legacy shows in rugged stone walls, old quarries, and weathered cottages mixed with newer shingle-style homes. Shore paths and rocky overlooks shape daily routines, with sunsets pulling attention toward Ipswich Bay.
