Nestled on a generous lot in the East Gloucester Square Historic District, this expansive center-entrance Colonial boasts rich character, a highly functional floor plan, and a prime opportunity in a sought-after neighborhood. Cherished for 65 years by its owners, this elegant home is ready for its next chapter, offering immense potential for customization and a fantastic chance to build both sweat equity and lasting memories. Bright, spacious living areas anchor the main level, highlighted by expansive windows, a large eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, a front-to-back double living room/den, and a versatile bonus room addition that opens onto the backyard - ideal for a home office or playroom. Upstairs, a broad central landing connects a spacious primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a large U-shaped bathroom. Exterior acorn frieze cornice ornaments along with some classic interior period moldings are beautifully preserved. The sprawling fenced yard provides ample space for gardening and entertaining, with great potential for expansion or an ADU. This historic home likely served as part of the Wonson family’s expansive 43-acre farm in East Gloucester. Its location is unbeatable, offering very close proximity to Gloucester’s best destinations, including Good Harbor Beach, Niles Beach, Eastern Point, Wonson Cove, Brace Cove, Niles Pond, Rocky Neck, Back Shore, and the bustling working harbor, along with walkability to the vibrant downtown. Plus, the scenic Rockport/Newburyport Commuter Rail offers a convenient commute to Boston in just under an hour. Don't miss your chance to claim this timeless East Gloucester treasure and create your dream coastal lifestyle!
