THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Real estate is a local industry and, as a rule, varies widely from market to market. But when Covid detonated in March, even that constant was upturned: For two weeks or more, deals everywhere fell apart, closings were delayed, buyers didn’t shop and sellers wouldn’t let them in anyway. To find out what is happening on the ground now, we interviewed over 50 agents and buyers in these markets. READ MORE >

The 8,441 square-foot, four bed, and four and-a-half bath Gloucester estate might be perched between the Atlantic and the sea of green that is the Bass Rocks Golf Course, but no one would fault you for thinking you’re in the Italian countryside.

No need to fret over a library card or overdue fees when you reside in this home, which is Rockport’s former public library.
If going to a great library feels like coming home, this dwelling should be the perfect fit for you. Beyond the thousands of stories the building used to house, the edifice itself has a history of its own: Famed steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie commissioned the construction in 1904 to serve as Rockport’s Public Library. While the library has since moved across town, Carnegie’s contribution still stands, now as a stately private residence.

The Manchester-by-the-Sea based real estate company recently partnered with Compass, bringing boutique client services with big company resources to the North Shore.
When Syndi Zaiger moved to the North Shore from New York twenty years ago, she noticed the natural beauty of the region with its “hidden gem” quality. She also noticed a hole that needed to be filled. READ MORE >
HOME OF THE DAY:
When Gail and David Vastola bought their home in Rockport, Mass., they knew they were buying a piece of history. Commissioned by Andrew Carnegie in 1904, the building was the town library until 1993. The structure sat empty until the Vastolas purchased it in 2007.
‘It was in terrible shape,’ says Dr. Vastola, a 75-year-old physician. ‘It was full of mold and mildew. We had to bring a hazmat team in to clean it out.’ The couple paid $540,000 for the property in an auction and invested approximately $1.5 million in the reconstruction and restoration. Read More >

“The Carnegie” - formerly Rockport Public Library and restored as a private residence is being presented by the Syndi Zaiger Team at Nest Real Estate.
Rockport, MA - Experience the scenic, seaside Town of Rockport and live in this Classic Revival masterpiece known as “The Carnegie” at 18 Jewett Street, Rockport, Massachusetts. Built in 1904 as Rockport’s Public Library, it was one of numerous public libraries that were funded by industrialist, business magnate and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. At a later date when the library moved to a larger space across town, the timeless granite structure was purchased and restored as a private residence.
A Back Shore home rumored over the years to be built for or bought by the likes of Barbra Streisand and Mark Wahlberg has finally been sold after more than two years on the market.
