About this home
Unique Magnolia home. This charming, sun filled, detached condominium lives like a single family home. Why spend your time cutting the grass and focusing on home maintenance when you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Cape Ann? If you’ve been looking for character and charm, you’ll find high ceilings, 4-panel solid wood doors, hardwood floors coupled with 2 first floor bedrooms. The open concept kitchen and dining area allows you to easily move about, then wander to the open, sunny family room on the second floor. With it’s own bath and wet bar, you’ll soon be hosting memorable summer cookouts or next year’s Super Bowl celebration! Sliders to the wrap-a-round deck beckon you outdoors to read, listen to the roll of the waves … or delight in the stars above.
