Located just steps from Marblehead Harbor, this unique 3 bedroom,31/2bath antique home has been renovated to combine the ambiance of its antiquity (classic 18th c. mantles, rich wood paneling, fireplaces, exposed beams, wide pine floors) with the conveniences and amenities that today's buyers want & expect (upgraded kitchen/open to fam room, new baths).
