To sit on the long front porch that wraps three quarters around this 1880 farmhouse, waves rolling into Hoop Pole Cove a short distance away, perhaps a few mockingbirds hopping in the hickory tree, is to find oneself in the middle of one of Cape Ann's many secrets. "Tranquil, peaceful, serene" describes this quiet neighborhood of older Rockport summer houses. Meticulously updated, this home fills with warming Cape Ann sunlight all year long. Well-attended mature gardens surround the house on all sides. Fluttering narcissus cheer on spring from every corner of the property, to be followed in the season by peonies, roses, rhododendron, azaleas, and more. The interior is defined by large gracious sitting rooms, and an airy white-washed kitchen that begs for bread to be cooling on the counter. Take a seat in a rocking chair on that front porch, invite your friends up for a drink; listen for the gulls.
