About this home

This spectacular property was custom-designed and built over the years by the owner of renowned builders Mill River Carpentry. Set on a beautiful lot along a peaceful street in Gloucester's desirable Riverdale neighborhood, this exceptional home showcases remarkable craftsmanship, expansive living spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. A stone driveway welcomes you to an enormous mudroom that opens into a recently renovated custom kitchen featuring concrete quartz countertops and an impressive 60-inch refrigerator. The spacious living room is anchored by a woodstove with a beautiful granite surround and opens to a generous deck and pool area. The main level also offers a full bath with laundry, a comfortable sitting area off the kitchen, and a large dining room with cathedral ceilings. Exceptional details are found throughout, including radiant heat, tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, five-inch red oak flooring, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. The open first-floor layout extends effortlessly to a deck, patio, and screened porch, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and relaxing. The second floor features two bedrooms, a full bath, and an impressive primary bedroom with a cathedral ceiling and an oversized walk-in closet. The walkout portion of the basement provides a dedicated home gym area. A spacious breezeway offers flexible den or office space and leads to an oversized garage equipped with a 12-by-10-foot overhead door, a half bath, and radiant floor heat. Completing this remarkable property is a bright one-bedroom apartment above the garage - ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. The apartment also features a large private deck with beautiful views of the Annisquam River and Ipswich Bay.
