One of the North Shore’s most significant Queen Anne residences, 51 Cliff Street—also known as the George Duncan House—is a stunning Gilded Age estate with ocean views in two directions. Rebuilt in 1898 by British aristocrat Lord Duncan, the nearly two-acre grounds were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and feature a pergola, red brick balustrades, and terracotta urns. The grand entry hall leads to soaring ceilings, 11 fireplaces, exquisite period details, oversized living spaces, and multiple en-suites. Two separate apartments offer flexibility for guests, inlaws or airbnb possibilities. The longtime residence of the renowned artist Norman Laliberté, whose works grace the Smithsonian, this coastal retreat includes shared ownership of Nahant’s most beautiful private beach. A rare blend of history, artistry, and seaside elegance.
Expansive ocean views from nearly every room in this stunning oceanfront home, designed to maximize your connection to the sea. The open-concept living and dining area features a wall of ocean-facing windows framing sunsets and the Boston skyline. A newly renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite peninsula makes entertaining effortless. Enjoy radiant heat floors in the spa-like full bath with a soaking tub and elegant tilework. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, or relax on private decks off the living room. Upstairs, three bedrooms include two with access to Trex decks that feel suspended over the ocean. Energy efficiency upgrades include a Navien system, new piping, insulation, and owned solar panels. With two-car parking and direct beach access, this home is a true coastal sanctuary for ocean lovers.
