"Crow Island," is perhaps the most admired property on Massachusetts's North Shore. This stone mansion, built in the Iconic style, is perched on a secluded five acre peninsula, surrounded by two beautiful sandy beaches, and offers unparalleled privacy. Located only 30 minutes north of Boston in the picturesque town of Manchester by-the-Sea, MA, this unique property features stunning ocean views from every vantage point. Upon arrival, one is greeted by elegant wrought iron gates adorned with a signature crow symbol. The main house is approached via a meandering drive which passes the guest house and continues to the crest of the peninsula offering dramatic views of Kettle Cove and the Atlantic Ocean. Mature plantings, statuesque trees and the rolling lawn sweep down to the ever-changing ocean panorama. Restored and renovated by the current owners, the mansion features 14 rooms, 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths.     The first floor offers both formal and casual living areas. The grand entry foyer is reminiscent of the North Shore's "Golden Age." The family room with its arched wall of windows surrounds the new gourmet kitchen with custom tiger maple cabinets and professional appliances. The dining room is of regal proportions and can comfortably accommodate 20 or more guests. The formal living room with period paneling and cozy fireplace flows into a less formal sitting room and adjoins the sunset alcove and caterer's gallery. The second floor offers 5 spacious family bedrooms. The sun-filled master suite provides sweeping ocean views, a private deck and a spacious marble master bath, combining the classic elegance of the Golden Age with today's high-end amenities.     One of the most impressive aspects of this property is its spacious octagonal stone great room with soaring wood trussed ceiling, heated bluestone floor and massive fireplace overlooking the majestic craggy shoreline with views to Boston. The room beautifully transitions to splendid outdoor living with a spacious bluestone terrace which boasts an in-ground spa, a gourmet barbeque grilling station and seating area replete with a fire-pit appropriate for cool summer evenings.     The separate carriage/guest house offers a lovely open kitchen/family room area, a cozy fire placed living room, a sunken sunroom, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, yoga studio, and an expansive second floor office with kitchenette.     There can be no doubt that "Crow Island" offers a once in a life time opportunity to reside in one of the North Shore's most admired and sought after estates.     Price on request.
