Framed by iconic Pine trees, from this small, charming mid-1950’s Cape-style cottage located on Cape Ann in Gloucester, MA, you experience stunning and unobstructed, direct ocean views stretching from Eastern Point to Kettle Island/Magnolia Point. This home was built for Joseph Corish (1910 – 1988) an internationally-known marine artist who often painted the spectacular views from his house site. Last sold 25 years ago, the property includes .26 well-maintained upland acres and the 1300 square foot 3-bedroom house, which will be sold in its “as is” condition. Importantly, the cottage has expansion possibilities. The property is a walking distance to Magnolia Center and is a 10-minute drive to Manchester-by the-Sea and Route 128.
