8 Island Rock Lane overlooks Gloucester's outer harbor where the sunsets are nothing short of spectacular and views of the coastline keep one riveted. Built atop a granite outcropping in 1912, this quintessential summer home is incomparable. Open airy rooms, hardwood floors throughout, and the most fabulous wrap around porch (all 4 sides!) allowing for outside enjoyment no matter what the weather, complete the charm of this summer paradise. If enjoying a sandy beach is your pleasure, lovely Niles Beach is a stone's throw away. Walk to Rocky Neck, Eastern Point, and all within a 1 hr drive to Boston! Breezy and Beautiful! Recently, this home received an exemption from FEMA due to its elevation - a rarity for oceanfront property!
