$4,500,000 - Magnolia
A landmark of Magnolia's storied coastline, this extraordinary oceanfront estate has graced Shore Road since 1889. Set above the Atlantic on one of Cape Ann's most coveted seaside addresses, the residence masterfully blends timeless architecture with thoughtfully curated updates, creating a home that feels both historically significant and effortlessly livable. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, illuminating gracious rooms designed for intimate gatherings and grand entertaining alike, while six fireplaces add warmth and character throughout.
