Sited on over 5 acres at one of the highest elevations in Manchester-by-the-Sea, this magnificent brick masonry manor offers distant hilltop views of the ocean, Kettle Island, and the Boston skyline and benefits from a southern exposure. A long private driveway leads to a spacious pea stone motor court and professionally manicured rolling lawns, which are accented with annuals and perennials, stone walls, ledge outcroppings, and majestic oak trees. A legally zoned 2-family residence consisting of “The Main House, and “The Wing” with a total of 10 bedrooms, the manor can easily accommodate a large family and guests in their own separate spaces, while also providing the flexibility of an in-law or au pair suite. The Main House has been restored and renovated while preserving its historical details. Special features include an at-home office with separate conference room, a wine cellar, two vaults that were originally built to store liquor, billiards room and exercise room.
