The temperature shifts, the air feels clearer, and the sunsets take your breath away. Flowering trees stretch their limbs out to welcome you as you’re serenaded by singing birds and distant crashing waves. Just ask anyone who lives in Lanesville, one of Gloucester’s delightful, coastal neighborhoods. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this 3-bed, 2-bath home at 7 Ships Bell Rd. features vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and walls of glass that frame Ipswich Bay. The open layout with sweeping ocean views includes a well appointed kitchen, a fireplaced living room with sliders to the wrap around deck, and a lower-level bedroom and full bath with walkout access. Enjoy kayaking from Lane’s Cove, fishing from the rocks, swimming in the quarry or simply relaxing. Be nurtured by this seaside dream, a rare mid-century gem with coastal flair.
