24-26 Knight Ave, Marblehead, MA 01945

Thoughtfully updated side-by-side two-family in Marblehead’s coveted West Shore neighborhood, just blocks from the ocean. Both residences feature a smart reverse layout, with the main living areas positioned on the upper level to capture seasonal water views over the neighborhood — and with selective additional tree trimming, there is real potential to open those views up year-round. The owner’s unit centers on a brand-new, enlarged kitchen featuring all-new cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, designer lighting, and stainless appliances — supported by all-new wiring, plumbing, and gas lines serving the kitchen. A brand-new first-floor laundry closet, relocated for everyday convenience with its own dedicated electrical and plumbing, joins a new half bath, new flooring, and a new insulated front door. The sun-filled four-season sunroom — perched to take in the water views — may be the most coveted room in the house. Beyond the updates, the home offers a welcoming canvas to add your own touches over time. Interior access to a dedicated garage completes the owner’s side. The second unit mirrors the layout with its own private entrance, dedicated garage with interior access, and a fireplace. It comes with a complete set of brand-new appliances included — built-in oven, microwave, cooktop, range hood, and refrigerator — plus a fresh new wall surround in the full bath, all ready for the next owner’s vision. With a reliable tenant already in place, the income begins on day one. Live in one unit while the other works for you, or hold both as a long-term investment in a seaside town where property is cherished and rarely trades. Additional improvements include a new roof covering on the front mansard, and a freshly power-washed exterior. Each unit enjoys its own lower level and interior access dedicated garage, with six additional off-street parking spaces on a sunny corner lot — a genuine rarity this close to the water. All of it sits steps from the beach and parks, and just minutes from Marblehead Harbor and Old Town’s shops and dining. An exceptional opportunity to secure updated, income-producing multi-family ownership in one of the North Shore’s most beloved coastal neighborhoods.
