About this home

The Captain Wheeler House, a proud Georgian Antique with center chimney and attached barn/garage, dates to 1705. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features wide pine floors, exposed beams, built-ins, wainscotting, and fireplaces—including a beehive oven. Thoughtfully preserved and expanded, it includes an open kitchen with vaulted ceiling, red Viking stove, skylight, and a spacious first-floor primary suite with direct access to the backyard. The yard is an oasis with mature trees, flowering gardens, a wood-burning sauna, and rock outcroppings. Set on nearly ½ acre and abutting 600-acre Ravenswood Park, the property offers direct access to miles of trails and views of Gloucester Harbor. Just steps away is Freshwater Cove, with swimming and boating on the Outer Harbor. Nearby are Stage Fort Park, Half Moon and Cressy’s beaches, sports courts, a playground, and scenic walking paths to the Boulevard and Gloucester Center.
