About this home

A remarkable restoration of an iconic Marblehead Neck home. Perched high on a knoll this circa 1905 mansion has undergone an incredible transformation. A beautiful new custom kitchen, 4 and a half new bathrooms, all new wiring and plumbing, new windows, new systems, and the list goes on and on (please contact listing broker for the complete list of improvements). The renovation of the home is enhanced by its beautiful ocean views, 10 ft ceilings, the two car garage/carriage house, and the almost acre of land it is sited on. 48 Harbor Avenue is a gracious home in every sense of the word. Truly a home to be proud of!
