This architecturally distinct contemporary home on approximately 12.8 acres of private land in Manchester-by-the-Sea offers a breathtaking coastal living experience. From its commanding site on a ridge 150 feet above sea level, the residence boasts expansive ocean views from every room and is walking distance to several beautiful beaches. The property also connects to extensive trail networks for hiking and mountain biking.

• Described by its architect as embodying “organic modernism”, the property features a bold contemporary design characterized by soaring glass and steel panels and curving roof lines. This home offers both functional and inviting areas for everyday living and large-scale entertaining with five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and 5,200 square feet of living space.
• Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by a tricolored stone tile floor with radiant heat. Live-edge maple steps lead around two large granite boulders, that frame a circular freestanding fireplace with stainless steel flue, and into a great room with a soaring 19 ft ceiling. Red birch floors, a striking copper leaf wall and a cantilevered staircase with a glass and mahogany rail system add to the contemporary ambiance.
• Natural light floods the living spaces changing angles throughout the day through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The spacious living areas seamlessly flow into outdoor spaces, including an expansive deck perfect for lounging and dining al fresco while enjoying the stunning ocean views.
• The garage is a unique architectural gem with a tensile fabric “tent-like” roof floating atop a glass curtain wall box. Two sliding doors are blown-up versions of Mondrian paintings in translucent acrylic and aluminum.
• The property, while gladed for walking and views of the ocean and woods, was and is largely untilled, retaining its native landscape and Cape Ann ruggedness – dotted with glacial boulders and mature trees. The property abuts nearly two thousand acres of mostly conserved land, crisscrossed with old carriage paths and newer mountain biking and hiking terrain.
• This coastal retreat offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in both the vitality of seaside living and the boldness of Cape Ann’s natural landscapes. Whether relaxing in the outdoor spa with ocean views, or hiking miles of trails right off the property, or simply enjoying the sunrise or moonlight over the ocean, this coastal residence and property features the most stimulating aspects of life on Cape Ann.
