Constructed following the principles of Shingle style architecture, this stunning house is located in Manchester-by-the Sea, on Singing Beach to be precise, and it comes with a price tag of $8.9 million. It offers fabulous 280-degree views of the ocean as well as a plethora of modern amenities and spacious living areas.

It rests on a 3.2-acre beach estate and was finished in 2008 using high quality materials and finishes. Its highlights include a wraparound porch, bluestone patios and elegant French doors. The house offers 7,800 square feet of living space and features 16 rooms in total, out of which 6 are bedrooms, 7 are bathrooms and one is a stunning kitchen with Vermont Soapstone countertops. As for the rest of the property, it comprises a guesthouse, a private path that leads to the Singing Beach, a swimming pool and a spa. If this is not a perfect summerhouse, then I don’t know what is.


















This home sounds incredible! I’m curious—how does the Shingle style architecture influence the overall feel and functionality of the space compared to other coastal designs? Also, how does the local environment impact the choice of materials?
Thank you! Shingle style offers a relaxed, timeless look with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for coastal living. Locally sourced, weather-resistant materials ensure durability against sea air and storms, blending the home naturally into its surroundings while enhancing comfort and longevity.
