Sited on 1.87 acres in Gloucester’s coveted Eastern Point, the Temple-Hayden Cottage offers an exceptional setting for a new chapter in its nearly three-century history. Mature trees, open lawns, granite outcroppings, and stone walls frame the weathered shingle residence and detached barn, creating a landscape with the timeless character of Cape Ann. Neighboring Beauport, the celebrated home of Henry Davis Sleeper, further enriches the property’s architectural and cultural setting.Originally built circa 1750 in Canton, Massachusetts, the cottage was carefully dismantled and relocated to Eastern Point in 1924 by antiquarian and lighting designer Samuel Temple, a descendant of its original builder, and his wife, accomplished painter Ruth Anderson Temple. The cottage retains its characteristic massive brick chimney and early decorative treatments believed to have been influenced by Sleeper.Privately sited at the end of a long driveway behind stone walls, the home offers three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms within 1,613± square feet with the ability to expand to twice its existing size, subject to the preservation restriction and applicable approvals. For a buyer drawn to historic architecture, the property presents a compelling opportunity to restore, improve, and sensitively enlarge the residence for today's lifestyle.Offered by Historic New England with preservation restrictions protecting the building’s exterior, this is an opportunity to steward a distinctive piece of Eastern Point’s history while shaping its next chapter as a private residence.

Charming Craftsman Bungalow in the Heart of Newburyport's Academic Row! Welcome Home to this dreamy, reimagined Craftsman bungalow - one of just a handful of 'like' homes that once added color and warmth to the grand estates of Toppans Lane, and have retained those distinctive charms for almost a century. Entirely rebuilt and appointed by a local team of designers, this beauty is move-in ready, with a warm, welcoming presence that leans into the elements that make a bungalow so enduringly appealing - tweaked ever so slightly to deliver everything on a modern homebuyers' wish list. The southern-style covered porch is both an introduction and an invitation - a place to read, gather, or watch the neighborhood settle into evening. Viewed from within, that porch is an extension of the living room, lending depth to interiors whose unusually high ceilings create an unexpected sense of volume. At the rear, a spacious deck opens toward a canopy of mature hardwoods rising from the gardens of neighboring High Street homes. Interiors by Ivory and Bone bring a cohesive sensibility to the rooms, balancing warm materials, considered details, and spaces designed to be used. Wide-plank Sheoga white oak floors run through the open main level, where a gas fireplace gives the living area an intimate center. The kitchen anticipates the natural choreography of a gathering: four seats drawn up to an oversized island, conversation flowing from corner to corner, and ample storage within the island to keep all your best serving pieces at the ready for holidays & celebrations. Ultra High-end Viking appliances and a custom range hood lend the kitchen a tailored presence, while a walk-in pantry makes room for the pleasures and practicalities of daily life. A dedicated coffee station can live here, leaving the kitchen counters clear. A mudroom and beautifully appointed powder room carry the same thoughtful design into the everyday arrivals and departures. Upstairs Beds and Baths offer a comfortable retreat, accompanied by a light-filled laundry room w/ a dedicated folding table. Below, the finished walkout level, complete with a full bath, invites a different pace ideal for deep sofas, a favorite film, and an evening with nowhere else to be. Beyond the porch is one of Newburyport’s most picturesque neighborhoods atop Mt. Rural - a neighborhood whose beauty has been generations in the making. This Luxuriously appointed, Graceful Home won't last!
