About 39 Glenwood Avenue

Historic craftsmanship and timeless design define this stately 1929 Colonial, built by the Hamilton R. Douglas Company, the same builder responsible for Ledge Light. Thoughtfully updated with a new ductless split-system for heating and cooling, the home offers year-round climate control while helping keep utility costs low. The 1929 character has been carefully preserved throughout, with original architectural details remaining in place and updated plumbing providing modern convenience. The second-floor primary bedroom features direct water views of Ledge Light, beautiful hardwood floors, a dressing area, side porch, and full bath. The second floor also includes two additional bedrooms, a study, a laundry area, a half bath, and a vintage full bath with new plumbing. Additional features include a gas fireplace, mudroom entry, front air-lock entry, formal foyer, and two hardwood staircases. Ideally located within walking distance of white-sand beaches, both private and public, as well as local restaurants and marinas, this distinctive home offers a rare blend of historic character, thoughtful updates, and coastal living.
