Now offered at a compelling new price, with beautiful hardwood floors revealed beneath recently removed carpeting, 8 Atlantic Road presents an exceptional opportunity just one tenth of a mile from the Good Harbor Beach footbridge. Set in an enviable East Gloucester location near the Back Shore, this beloved coastal retreat retains its classic character and features a remarkably spacious primary suite. The hardwood flooring extends throughout the front-to-back living room, dining room, up the staircase to the second floor, and into three of the four bedrooms. Outside, a beautifully landscaped, fenced yard unfolds around a large sparkling pool framed by lush gardens, a pool house with a bath, and a charming one bedroom guesthouse. A truly special offering in one of Gloucester’s most desirable neighborhoods.
