188 Hesperus Avenue

Framed by iconic Pine trees, from this small, charming mid-1950’s Cape-style cottage located on Cape Ann in Gloucester, MA, you experience stunning and unobstructed, direct ocean views stretching from Eastern Point to Kettle Island/Magnolia Point. This home was built for Joseph Corish (1910 – 1988) an internationally-known marine artist who often painted the spectacular views from his house site. Last sold 25 years ago, the property includes .26 well-maintained upland acres and the 1300 square foot 3-bedroom house, which will be sold in its “as is” condition. Importantly, the cottage has expansion possibilities. The property is a walking distance to Magnolia Center and is a 10-minute drive to Manchester-by the-Sea and Route 128.

• The property will be “sold in as is condition”: with no contingencies or caveats accepted by the Sellers. Buyer to perform all due diligence.
• As per discussions with the Gloucester Conservation Commission, a very large portion of the property is considered to be within the Wetland Protection Act and the Rivers Protection Act. Any revisions or alterations to the property are therefore subject to permitting review before the Conservation Commission.
• Disclosures: Zoning – Gloucester Zoning Department indicates the building lot is considered to be a “Pre-existing, Non-conforming Lot” under Section III – 3.1.2 and 2.4.1 of the Gloucester Zoning Code and has “superseding setback distances”. Any alterations of any kind to the structure may require filing a Notice of Intent for a Special Permit with the Zoning Board of Appeals
