The home has an inviting, comfortable quality that makes it equally suited to everyday living, entertaining, and enjoying the quiet moments that make a house feel like home.Outside, the beautiful yard offers room to relax, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. There is something particularly appealing about having a lovely piece of land while being able to walk to nearly everything that makes Manchester-by-the-Sea so special.The lifestyle is exceptional. From 25 Bennett Street, the village, harbor, Singing Beach, restaurants, shopping, and commuter rail are all within walking distance. Start the morning with coffee in the village, spend the afternoon at the beach, stroll to the harbor, meet friends for dinner, or take the train into Boston. It is a rare combination of coastal beauty, village convenience, and easy access to the city. Manchester’s highly regarded public school system is also consistently recognized among the top 10 in Massachusetts.And then there is the history. Dating to circa 1674, 25 Bennett Street is believed to be the second-oldest surviving home in Manchester-by-the-Sea and one of only 61 surviving homes in Massachusetts dating from 1660 to 1700. The house began as a half house and evolved through the generations into a classic New England saltbox. More than 350 years later, its story continues- not simply as a remarkable historic home, but as a beautiful place to live and experience the very best of Manchester- by- the-Sea.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
