Seahome is a stunning coastal estate established in 1880, located on Boston’s North Shore. It occupies a vast 4.4-acre private peninsula that offers magnificent views of Chubb Island, Misery Islands, Marblehead, and the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built as a summer retreat for Robert C. Hooper, the founder of the Boston Terrier dog breed, the main house underwent renovations and expansions led by Epstein Joslin Architects, with the final phase completed in 2013. This 16,000-square-foot home features 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, along with spacious reception halls and an indoor pool equipped with a spa. Outdoor highlights include a life-size chess set, a pool with ocean views, a rooftop terrace, and a vintage stone teahouse from 1925 nestled on the water’s edge, offering extra space for guests. The grounds boast beautiful waterfront gardens, expansive lawns leading to the ocean, and awe-inspiring ocean views from various patios, decks, and rooftop terraces. Furthermore, there’s a fully licensed deep-water dock with a ramp and float, plus a small sandy beach just steps away. This exceptional property is currently listed at $25 million in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, making it the quintessential coastal escape for those seeking luxury.
