Description: Manchester was a fishing village until 1845, when Richard Dana, author of the early American classic, "Two Years Before the Mast," built the town's first summer home. In the ensuing decades, the town became the seasonal choice for many of Boston's Brahmins.

This house is on the aptly named Summer Street with an acre of prime property and lovely beach views. The yard is mostly lawn and low trees punctuated by old stone walls.

The rooms inside are large and there's separate living, dining and family rooms. There are two fireplaces, hardwood floors and a broad, second-story balcony, perfect for watching the boat traffic below.
