Marblehead’s taste of the Med
High-end buyers looking for a departure from Marblehead’s lavish Colonials are going to be transported by the breathtaking Mediterranean-style estate at 321 Ocean Ave.
Sited on a Marblehead Neck bluff with uninterrupted ocean views and direct beach access, the estate is the ultimate coastal living experience on more than an acre of land.
Boasting a distinctive terracotta-colored tile roof and arched windows and doorways, and brick terraces, the 1920s home also benefits from the original period details which have been expertly preserved. The interior impresses with beamed ceilings, intricate fireplaces and millwork. They are complemented by the grandeur of the natural setting — the soothing sights and sounds of crashing waves can be experienced in almost every room.
The open floor plan across the living and dining room maximizes entertaining potential with plenty of space for guests to gather while taking in the panoramic views from oversized windows. Among the many upgrades in the eat-in kitchen, amateur chefs will love the luxe appliances, radiant flooring, and — here they are again — ocean views.
With just over 4,300 square feet, the home includes five bedrooms, four with en-suite baths. The palatial primary suite with, yes, you guessed it, endless ocean views, benefits from an equally sumptuous spa bath.
Rolling lawns, manicured garden vignettes and a private gate leading to the water below offer prime outdoor living potential.
Open house hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
