About this home
Perched atop a sun-kissed hill with sweeping views of the Little River tidal estuary and Ipswich Bay, this distinctive Queen Anne Victorian-style home is steeped in Gloucester history and architectural appeal. Built by Charles Pew, a partner in the fish wholesaling firm launched by his father, Captain John H. Pew, the home reflects the craftsmanship and refinement of the Gilded Age, with restored yellow pine floors, original ornamentation, a double-sided fireplace, and distinctive details throughout. The property offers a separate, one-bedroom space with its own private deck and outdoor area, providing wonderful flexibility for a home office, studio, or additional living space, with potential for straightforward conversion to an in-law or ADU with appropriate modifications and approvals. An expansive wraparound porch off the main level invites you to enjoy the view and cool breezes. A screened porch offers another comfortable place to gather or unwind. Outside, generous front and back yards provide room to play, garden, and entertain, complemented by a beautiful patio area designed for hosting family and friends. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens to its own intimate deck, a perfect perch for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail while taking in the sunset over the water. Thoughtfully cared for by its current owners, the property has benefited from numerous improvements, including fully paid-off solar, Energy Star windows and doors, updated electrical, a generator, interior painting, and newly painted exterior, along with the new wraparound porch and patio area. These updates complement the home’s historic character while reflecting the care and investment that have gone into maintaining and improving it. Full of warmth, history and personality, this home can be enjoyed and appreciated just as it is today, while offering exciting possibilities to thoughtfully expand, enhance, and make your own over time. A special property with a sense of place, versatile spaces, abundant indoor and outdoor living, and a deep connection to Gloucester’s storied past.
