Discover Twelve Lanterns, a Mediterranean villa steeped in history, perched high on rock ledge overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a secret gem on Marblehead Neck. Designed & commissioned by Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1911, this home is a true testament to her love for Italy, Spain, & the Mediterranean w/ exquisite details like decorative tiles, arched doorways, vaulted ceilings, & a soaring tower w/ 12 windows offering panoramic views. Stroll through wooden gates, mature gardens & up stone steps, to this 4-bedroom residence w/ a primary suite on the main level. The kitchen, primary bath & windows were updated in 2003 while preserving the home's historical charm.
