http://www.PattyNaggs.com - Annisquam…people come for the views and stay for the lifestyle. Magical is how living in this Annisquam home is...

This house is all about the waterviews. It was designed to have a waterview from every room, yet be comfortable and cozy for year round living.

Facing the Annisquam river, with views south, west and north. To the south watch the sailing & lobster boats on the Annisquam river. To the west feast your eyes on the white sands of Wingaersheek and Cranes beach. Looking north the vista stretches to the mountains of New Hampshire & Maine. Water views can be found from nearly every room and each of the 4 balconies, deck and wrap around porch. Located steps from coveted Lighthouse beach (one of 2 private association beaches). So close to Lighthouse beach you can watch your friends and family playing in the water or happily engaged in conversations.

The main house has a gloriously inviting farmers porch that overlooks lawns and frames the stunning waterviews. The rocks on the shoreline aren't just for contrast to the sea they are perfect for swimming off of when catching a ride from a passing boat! And did I mention the fishing off the rocks, steps from your frontdoor?

The first floor living space is open and inviting with an intimate area near the wood burning stove that features views of the Annisquam river and also a place for conversation or TV.

The large dining area features water views in two direction and opens to the kitchen and the living area.

The open kitchen with custom cherry cabinets, granite counters, eating bar and an island opens to two separate eating areas (one intimate with waterviews- of course) as well as the larger dining space adjacent to the living area. It also features a very private, secluded, protected terrace perfect for outside grilling or reveling in the early spring sunlight away from the ocean breezes.

Light floods the entire second floor, just as it does the first floor. Upstairs offers a master suite with a west facing balcony and a private marble master bath.There are two other bedrooms (one with its own south facing balcony) that share the other full bath.

Built as two separate homes and connected by a glass hallway the other part of this comfortable home can be used as an extended home (featuring 5 bedrooms), guest quarters or an au pair suite. This part of 39 Norwood Heights offers waterviews on the second floor which consists of two bedrooms, one bath and an open living/dining/ kitchen space again featuring a wood stove for cozy winter night. The first level has another bath and three other rooms which have been used as an office, an exercise room and a playroom.

Annisquam is known for its waterviews, it's private beaches, sailing, its history and its traditions. It features a sailing & tennis club which this year hosted the Jr. sailing Olympics. Next to the sailing club is a very special restaurant, The Market, which open seasonally, offers a native menu in the Alice Waters tradition of cooking. Annually, there a is a summer fair replete with a performance called "The Waxworks", where residents enact vignettes of a chosen theme every year. The Annisquam Library is in the center of the Village and there is also an annual theater production by the Annisquam Village Players, frequently a musical, hosted by and featuring the residents and other local talent. At the holidays this same group walks the streets of the the Village serenading residents with carols. Come for the waterviews, the beaches, the boating and fishing...stay for the special lifestyle of Annisquam.

This young well built home offers the best of modern living in the traditions of magical Annisquam.

Video of 24 Crocker Ave | Vineyard Haven (Martha's Vineyard), Massachusetts real estate & homes

http://www.SandpiperRealty.com - Welcome to Millbank, located on Crocker Avenue overlooking Vineyard Haven Harbor.

As a child in the early 1900’s, Mary Carter Stewart had spent many months on Martha’s Vineyard.  Her father was a doctor stationed at the naval facility on the Island.  Originally from Virginia, Mary Stewart Pogue and her first husband purchased a plot of land with a modest house in Vineyard Haven in 1929. “Why would you want to buy that old house?” a friend asked. “I’m not buying it for the house, I’m buying it for the land,” Mrs. Pogue is reported to have said.  Always forward thinking, she proceeded to rebuild and expand the original house, transforming it into the gracious home that you see today. The generous size of the rooms, the corner cupboards built in the dining room and the elegant flow of space resonate with her childhood home.

The name “Millbank” came from its neighbor, the old mill to the north. Converted from a working mill, The Mill House was owned for many years by Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett. Mike Wallace also was a long time neighbor residing for many summers at “The Barn” below Millbank.

Now, sitting on the porch at Millbank on a summer night, one can hear the town band playing in Owen Park. The neighborhood has remained consistent: quiet and very convenient to town and a short walk to the ferry dock.  Since it was first built, Millbank has been owned by several generations of only one family. The home has always been a welcoming place, the site of many visits, parties, cookouts, guests and wedding celebrations.  Millbank’s constant companion is the array of boats sailing in and out of the harbor and the steady passing of the ferries.

83 Pleasant Valley Rd | Amesbury, Massachusetts real estate & homes

http://www.TracyMousseau.com - Amesbury, Massachusetts is a suburban community with an unusual industrial and manufacturing history. First settled by Europeans in 1645, the town's earliest industries included mills, shipyards and a heavily used ferry operation across the Merrimac River to Newburyport. The situation of Amesbury at a transportation crossroads of Interstate 95 and 495 gives the town a good competitive edge for both residential and commercial development. Along with the sturdy 19th century commercial buildings, Amesbury is also rich in Federal-period residences, which the community carefully preserves as its link with the past.
