~MARBLEHEAD~ Voted #3 BEST COASTAL TOWN to live in by USA TODAY (March 2023 edition) Once referred to as the fishing capital of the United States, Marblehead still boasts undeniable fishing village vibes. On any given summer afternoon, you will see scores of watercraft bobbing in the harbor. Tiny cove beaches peppering the coastline give residents a place to unwind and there are plenty of conservation areas to go for a hike amid stunning surroundings. The great restaurants, boutiques, parks, schools, and beaches make this North of Boston town a top desirable place to settle. A cruise around town will reveal a treasure trove of attractive dwellings. Façades come in a rich variety, though the New England seaside cottage look is especially popular in historic & downtown Marblehead.

Samuel Glover's son was believed to have lived here at one point, Fast forward to many years later in 1906 when the property became a funeral home, George E. Nichols was the funeral director and he lived on Washington Street but he did the undertaking and embalming and funerals at 45 Pleasant Street. Live in walking distance to Crocker Park, B.Y.C. , Fort Sewall, the wharf, and downtown shops and restaurants. What a location!!!
