Offered for the first time in over six decades, 8 Atlantic Road is a beloved coastal retreat just 1/10 mile from the Good Harbor Beach footbridge. Its enviable East Gloucester location offers a rare opportunity on the Back Shore. The home retains its classic character and features a remarkably spacious primary suite. Out back, a beautifully landscaped, fenced yard unfolds around a large sparkling pool framed by lush gardens, a pool house, and a charming one-bedroom guesthouse. A truly lovely offering in one of Gloucester’s most desirable neighborhoods.
