Sited on nearly seven acres with bold ocean views and a new raised boardwalk providing direct access to Brace Cove Beach, 27 & 29 Farrington Avenue offers an unspoiled coastal ranch-style main house and a rustic guest cottage in one of Gloucester’s most ruggedly beautiful coastal settings. The c. 1920 main house, some 40+ ft above sea level, is nestled among enormous boulders, its low profile following the contours of the land blends with the natural landscape. Largely unchanged in character, the single-level home offers three bedrooms and one and a half baths, along with an eat-in kitchen, garden room, dining room, and a generous great room with a vaulted beamed ceiling, pine floors and a substantial fieldstone fireplace. Picture windows oriented toward the ocean offer stunning year-round views over the cleared foreground to the beach, Brace Rock, Bemo Ledge and the Atlantic Ocean. The residence is now easily accessed by a newly cleared gravel drive and parking area in front of the house via Kenwood Avenue or, as it has always been, via a winding footpath through ledge outcroppings and lush vegetation from the parking area in front of the two-bedroom guest cottage and detached two-car garage off of Farrington Ave. As part of the Eastern Point Association, enjoy all that Brace Cove Beach has to offer - swimming, walking, exploring the private beach and Nile’s Pond area, and access to join Fort Hill Tennis courts. This special property offers privacy, large acreage, water views, direct beach access and two-dwellings outside of the flood zone - opportunities like this are exceedingly rare.

Boston’s North Shore is a picturesque tapestry where history meets the sea, and each town has a story to tell. The convenient hamlets north of the city have long commanded premium values, from the most spectacular waterfront properties in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly, Gloucester, and Rockport to classic saltwater farms in Essex and riverfront properties in Ipswich. Off the water, proximate to the venerable Myopia Hunt Club, North Shore farms and equestrian properties in Hamilton, Wenham, Ipswich, and Topsfield are well paired with LandVest’s conservation planning and marketing expertise. Our Ipswich office is perched at the top of the hill overlooking nearby shops, restaurants, and galleries found in town, all just a short stroll to the Ipswich River.
