Some say Disneyland is The Happiest Place on Earth - for others, it is Annisquam.




An hour NE of Logan Int'l Airport in Boston MA sits Cape Ann, and within the vibrant town of Gloucester lives a small coastal neighborhood known as Annisquam. This particular home was built in 1908, and has since seen voluminous improvements.



Lawn care is always a great summer activity.



Likewise building fences!



Sun room, adjacent to main living space.



Guest cottage, aka Villa, aka Love Shack...



Beach, within walking distance.



A short drive down the cape, you'll find yourself at the lovely town of Rockport. Home to Roy Moore Lobster Co., and the nearby Fish Shack Bar & Restaurant.



Rockport Harbor.



10 minutes from Gloucester - on the way to Magnolia and Manchester-by-the-Sea, the storied Hammond Castle reigns. Home of inventor, patent guy, and trickster John Hays Hammond, Jr. (1888-1965). Great hall features an organ with over 8K pipes (the rank you see here is decorative), currently being restored.



Courtyard with pool, and some stranger overhead. :)







Annisquam is also home to some of the most spectacular sunsets. Then the fireflies come out...
