Everything about this week's featured listing says elegance and charm.

This 19th-century Gloucester estate, known as "Lisburne," was built in 1810 and features a 6-bedroom, 4-bath home and several outbuildings on 70 waterfront acres on Vaughan's Creek. Yes, you read that right, 70 acres.

Your guests will feel like they've been whisked back in time as they walk through the gracious salon, dining room, and parlor. You'll have a ball finding artwork to fill the walls.

Upstairs, the bedrooms were made for gorgeous antique furniture. Custom woodwork, fireplaces, and plank floors bring warmth to every room.

Not everything on the property harkens back to the 1800s, though. Out back, the pool will be a favorite spot during the warm summer months. The pool house is the perfect place to retreat for a quick nap while the grillmaster gets to work.
