Sited on 1.87 acres in Gloucester’s coveted Eastern Point, the Temple-Hayden Cottage offers an exceptional setting for a new chapter in its nearly three-century history. Mature trees, open lawns, granite outcroppings, and stone walls frame the weathered shingle residence and detached barn, creating a landscape with the timeless character of Cape Ann. Neighboring Beauport, the celebrated home of Henry Davis Sleeper, further enriches the property’s architectural and cultural setting.Originally built circa 1750 in Canton, Massachusetts, the cottage was carefully dismantled and relocated to Eastern Point in 1924 by antiquarian and lighting designer Samuel Temple, a descendant of its original builder, and his wife, accomplished painter Ruth Anderson Temple. The cottage retains its characteristic massive brick chimney and early decorative treatments believed to have been influenced by Sleeper.Privately sited at the end of a long driveway behind stone walls, the home offers three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms within 1,613± square feet with the ability to expand to twice its existing size, subject to the preservation restriction and applicable approvals. For a buyer drawn to historic architecture, the property presents a compelling opportunity to restore, improve, and sensitively enlarge the residence for today's lifestyle.Offered by Historic New England with preservation restrictions protecting the building’s exterior, this is an opportunity to steward a distinctive piece of Eastern Point’s history while shaping its next chapter as a private residence.
