Seller’s Comments
Coffee shop of choice: Gulu Gulu Cafe - great place for coffee and speciality coffee drinks (love the Creme Brulee Latte), beer, food , music, and art. The Gulu-gulu has become the signature hang out spot for Downtown Lynn.
Favorite places to go: Long Beach in Nahant (adjacent to Lynn) is great for running, walking, biking, lying out or swimming. There is a paved path between the parking lot and beach for those exercising. Parking is only $3. The beach is about 2 miles long so it’s never crowded. Dogs are allowed in the off-season from Oct-May.
Favorite restaurants in the area: Walk downstairs and you are at the Downtown Bistro and Wine Bar. Come for great food and drink at the new north shore hot spot. The Bistro caters to both local Lynners and restuarant connoisseurs from nearby Marblehead and Nahant. Come Tuesday nights for neighborhood night and get the best deal of the week.
Best features of the home: The Jacuzzi tub. You can’t beat the relaxation of a jacuzzi tub bath after a long day.
Favorite room: Kitchen - both a wonderfully bright and sunny room but also a great cook’s kitchen. Plenty of counter space to make your favorite dish and dessert too. The kitchen has so many wonderful features that includes lots and lots of light (under and over-cabinet lights) plus large windows that pull in the afternoon sun. The kitchen walks into the large spacious dinning room making it fun and easy to entertain.
Any remodeling since last purchase?: No - brand new construction in 2005
Most romantic spot: Lynn Heritage Park on the waterfront is only a 15 minute walk. The boardwalk boasts with new benches and historic Lynn artwork that overlooks the beautiful harbor.
What’s in the neighborhood: On the first floor of our building you will find a home furnishings store called Urban Elements. They offer yoga classes along with their one of a kind beautiful furnishings.
Steps to the MBTA Station - Lynn - Central Sq which brings you to Boston, 20 minutes and to Salem, 10 minutes. You can’t beat the convenience of public transportation.
The Capitol Diner is a true gem of downtown Lynn. Tucked between retail stores and the Commuter Rail, it serves breakfast and lunch items. The best time to go is during the summer to enjoy the outdoor seating.
Taco’s Lupita for great Salvadoran cuisine. Excellent chicken tacos!
North Shore Community College Lynn Campus is just steps away. A beautiful campus with wonderful park area to walk through and play with your dog.
The Lynn YMCA offers great athletic and community programs for all ages.
The Lynn Heritage museum has incredible artifacts from the hey day of the manufacturing boom in Lynn. It also has a small park with a beautiful fountain adjacent to the building
Raw arts is a great community art youth program. They have a new gallery on the ground floor for artists displays.
What I will miss the most: Everything ocean - Lynn Heritage Park on the waterfront, Long beach in Nahant, Lynn Beach, Red Rock Park, etc.
