A one-of-a-kind seaside treasure that commands beautiful water views and embraces the coastal lifestyle of Boston’s North Shore. Situated on 4.4± acres on a private peninsula in Manchester by the Sea, the property offers dramatic vistas to Chubb Island, Misery Islands, Marblehead, and out to the bold Atlantic Ocean. The original mansion was built in 1900 as a summer home for Robert C. Hooper, a Bostonian who established the dog breed known as the Boston terrier. The current owners commissioned Epstein Joslin architects and renovated and expanded the main house in three phases, completed in 2013. Beyond its impressive facade, the 16,000 square foot residence has 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms and is a glorious synthesis of palatial living spaces and exquisite details with a whimsical and playful feel. Grand reception rooms and intimate gathering spaces can cater to both large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living. An indoor pool and integrated spa provide a resort-style experience to its residents and guests.This North Shore oceanfront retreat has plenty to do outside as well. When you’re not busy playing a round of chess with the life-size chess set, you can take a dip in the ocean facing pool, enjoy an alfresco dinner with friends on the rooftop terrace, one of the many entertaining spaces. An impressive c1925 stone teahouse on the water’s edge provides additional space for guests with two bedrooms and two and one-half baths.  Reminiscent of the Italian coastline in Southern Italy, the oceanfront terraces captivate the vivid coastal landscape. A fully licensed deep-water dock with ramp and float and small sandy beach are steps away. The grounds feature beautiful waterfront gardens, large sweeping lawns to the ocean and spectacular ocean vistas from the many patios, decks, and rooftop terraces.   Seahome, the perfect place to relax, reflect, and entertain.
