Video of 11 Glover Square | Marblehead Massachusetts real estate & homes by Timmie Dittrich

http://www.11GloverSquare.com - If you are truly interested in being a part of history, have a penchant for authenticity, and demand the best of today's amenities, the General Glover home in Marblehead, Massachusetts must be on your list.

Marblehead is known as the Birthplace of the American Navy - which General John Glover played a heavy role in forming by order of General George Washington. Generations of fishing shacks and shipping businesses occupied much of “Ol Marblehead” then, but today 11 Glover Square is nestled among historic homes, quiet businesses, and parks that line the yacht filled harbor.

Constructed in 1762, 11 Glover Square can be found in the National Register of Historic Places, and was thoroughly restored and renovated in 2012 with the sharpest attention paid to preserving its' historic antiquity and provenance.

18th century wide pine floors run throughout and were refastened with replicated period nails where necessary. This commitment to authenticity throughout the home is why 11 Glover Square is indeed a rare treasure.

Amazingly crafted and detailed original crown moldings border the formal living and dining rooms. Most cabinets, mantels and paneling date back to 1762 but where replacements were needed, the owner took the care to mill new pieces to specification.

Lights and switch plates are custom made for every room except the dining room. Door and cabinet hardware are either original or replaced with period, hand-made, replications. The attention to detail is incredible.

In order to bring 11 Glover Square to a standard of living in step with today’s finest homes, renovations were made with discernment. A sizeable kitchen equipped with top-flight modern appliances, provide for everyday efficiency as well an elegant entertainment platform. The party always seems to be in the kitchen.

This is a grand 4,000 square foot home with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 3 half baths. It’s easy to imagine living in colonial days with fireplaces adorning 6 rooms.

With harbor views, a beautiful irrigated backyard and patio, and 3 parking spaces, 11 Glover Square is a home for the most passionate of historians and those with discriminating and exquisite tastes.

A coastal community of nearly 20,000 residents on Boston’s North Shore, historic Marblehead and its picturesque harbor are known for the crooked, narrow streets and spectacular architecture of preserved colonial and Victorian homes. Residents and visitors take advantage of the boating and fishing resources and the town benefits from the tourists that visit in the summer months.

Marblehead offers a variety of events throughout the year, including jazz and arts festivals, a tall ships cruise, regatta and race week, and a Christmas walk.
