7 Sumac Ln, # 1, Gloucester, MA 01930

SHORT TERM WINTER RENTAL: JANUARY 1st - MARCH 31st Set directly on Gloucester Harbor at the edge of Rocky Neck, this classic waterfront home gives you a front-row seat to one of New England's most iconic working harbors. Schooners, sailboats, fishing boats, and yachts pass throughout the day, while sunsets and the lights of Gloucester create an entirely different view after dark. Built in 1926, the home combines the character of a traditional Cape Ann waterfront house with the space and functionality needed for a comfortable group stay. Hardwood floors, exposed ceiling beams, a fireplace, large windows, and water views throughout give the interior an unmistakable sense of place. The main level is designed around the harbor. The living room opens into bright gathering spaces overlooking the water, while the dining room offers a memorable backdrop for meals together. A separate waterfront sitting room provides another place to relax, read, work, or simply watch the activity on Gloucester Harbor. Outside, the long covered porch stretches along the waterfront side of the home and opens onto a broad lawn at the water's edge. Adirondack chairs face the harbor, and the private deep-water dock extends directly from the property. Across the main house and attached guest cottage, the property offers five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, plus additional upper-level space. The primary bedroom includes its own private porch overlooking Gloucester Harbor. The attached cottage offers additional privacy with its own exterior entrance, deck, and waterfront outlook.
