132 - 134 elm street

New construction can give you quartz countertops. It can't give you this. Founded in 1629, Marblehead has always done things differently, and 132 Elm Street is proof. Converted from a 1933 church, this residence marries refined luxury - flat front custom-milled cabinets, radiant heated tile floors - with modern efficiency: spray foam insulation and ductless heating/cooling. What it never surrendered is the character that new construction can't manufacture. The original hardwood floors remain. Reclaimed pew woodwork adorns the entryway. The original arched Gothic windows have been restored with new ropes, weights, + pulleys. And the barrel vaulted ceiling in the main living space will stop you cold the moment you enter. 11-zone heating and 6-zone cooling give you full command of the home's energy usage; room by room, season by season. Bonus? It's positioned right between Old Town and downtown. There is no other home like this in Marblehead. There may be no other home like this anywhere.
