Great New England Destinations: Smiths Point in Manchester-by-the-Sea

  • By
  • Posted

Close to downtown, yet a million miles away in feeling. Crashing surf, dramatic views, private beaches, a great harbor. Manchester-by-the-Sea is the gem of Bostons waterfront communities.

This new listing just came to market on Smiths Point for $16,800,000.

The property was sold by Lanse Robb to a LandVest buyer in 2011. It was once home to Kragsyde, a shingle-style residence built by Peabody and Stearns in 1882. The property has been completely reimagined as a modern marvel; the only thing that has remained the same is the view.

Buyers most recently have come from London, Chicago, Denver, and Boston to enjoy this New England coastal destination. The most recent record, Seagate at 19 Smiths Point, sold for just under ten million back in 2013. This was a private sale negotiated by Lanse when the property was not on the market.
