About this home
Let the chimes of Abbot Hall be your clock as you step back in time to being one of the few families able to live directly across from Marblehead’s famous town hall! The exterior and interior features of the house have been preserved and brought up to today’s expectations. The original structure was replaced in 1850 with a Greek Revival home with nine rooms. The first floor has a living room with fireplace, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, study/library and half bath. The four bedrooms, family room and two bathrooms are on the second and third floors. Most rooms have wide pine floors. Central air conditioning. Private back yard is professionally landscaped and has a patio off of the kitchen. The cobblestone driveway can accommodate two vehicles. Being located in the heart of Old Town Village, the new owners need not use their vehicles as the cafes, restaurants and shops for which Marblehead is noted are a short stroll away.

Marblehead Historic District, located between Old Town Harbor and Marblehead Neck, is a historic and coastal Marblehead neighborhood with narrow colonial lanes and working waterfront views. Washington Street concentrates the district’s character, where small galleries, independent shops, and harbor-facing eateries line the sidewalks. The Jeremiah Lee Mansion and the Marblehead Museum anchor local history in preserved 17th- and 18th-century streetscapes. Crocker Park’s hillside paths frame sailboat masts and granite ledges above the water. Pocket greens and brick sidewalks connect clapboard capes, saltbox houses, and tucked-away courtyards. The harborfront sets the daily rhythm, from dinghy docks to sunset walks along the seawall.
