What's special

Private waterfrontOceanfront terraceSpectacular architectureRich period detailEight bedroomsElaborate woodworkPalladian windows

Set on 1.23 acres of private waterfront looking out to Nahant’s iconic Egg Rock, this historic estate was built ca. 1890 by well-known builder Joseph T. Wilson, who constructed many of the North Shore’s grandest homes during the late 1800’s era of ‘summer cottages.’ The grandeur of the original mansion remains intact, its spectacular architecture and rich period detail preserved while incorporating 21st century updates to create a luxurious seaside compound. With eight bedrooms, six full and two half bathrooms, and 8,947 sf of living space on three levels, including a two and a half story great room opening to the oceanfront terrace and grounds, plaster ceilings with ornate medallions, tall Palladian windows, and elaborate woodwork throughout, this residence is built to a standard of craftsmanship and scale rarely found today. Ideally located 20 minutes from Logan Airport and downtown Boston, easily accessible to highways and commuter rail, this is an extraordinary property.
