Restored Gothic Revival in Manchester

This Luxury Home of the Week pick fuses dramatic Gothic architecture with clean, modern interiors.

The mansion at 9 Ashland Ave. in Manchester-by-the-Sea hit the market on March 19 for $4,995,000. Originally constructed in 1847, the luxury property shows off charming details like a pitched roof and Gothic windows. The Sarkis Team of Douglas Elliman Real Estate has the listing. 

This restored Gothic Revival measures 5,004 square feet on 0.49 of an acre, offering a main house with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half bathroom, as well as a separate carriage house rental with one bedroom and 1.5 baths.

The first floor of the main house includes an open kitchen, complete with custom cabinets and a quartzite island, and a dining area with a marble fireplace. Off the dining area, French doors lead to a home office. This level also features a family room and living room with two pop-out windows.

Three bedroom suites, including the primary quarters, are located on the second floor. The owner’s space includes two closets — one of which is a walk-in — and a bathroom equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a water closet. A laundry room and a sunroom round out the level. 

The top floor is dedicated to a fourth bedroom with a walk-in closet and a shower-only bathroom with a water closet.

This luxury home’s lower level offers enough space for both a family room and fitness area.
