About this home
Turnkey Victorian Cottage in downtown Gloucester offering the perfect blend of character and convenience. Ideally located near the train, beaches, shopping, and highway access, the home enjoys ample street parking and added privacy with undeveloped land across the street. The first floor features a spacious living room with coffered ceilings, hardwood floors, and a large picture window, a petite but efficient kitchen along with an adjoining light infused dining room with sliding glass doors leading to a sunny, enclosed backyard, perfect for relaxation. Upstairs includes two generously sized bedrooms, a large bath with stackable washer/dryer, and a versatile third room ideal for office space, nursery, or oversized dressing room. The finished lower level houses a half bath, open living space, separate entrance, and abundant storage.
