Built in 1846 and lovingly held by the same family for 54 years, this rare Old Town Marblehead gem embodies coastal village living. Ideally sited at Elm and Pearl—close to Washington Street shops, Crosby’s, Crocker Park, Fort Sewall, Redd’s Pond, cove beaches, Old Town restaurants, and new park—yet offering true privacy with a beautiful yard, mature perennials, potting shed, patio, and 2-car parking. Meticulously maintained, featuring original pine floors, three fireplaces, high ceilings, and timeless historic detail. Surprisingly spacious with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1,836 SF. A 1970s addition provides a cozy family room with wood-burning stove and an air-conditioned primary suite above. Recent updates include a new roof, heating system, and restored balcony. A special home ready for its next chapter.
