I chose this home in North Andover as my main residence because I wanted to stay in the Merrimack Valley area. The house is huge and has a gym and a home office, so I probably never have to leave the house. North Andover has great schools so I know my kids will get a good education. The backyard and the pool was another big reason I chose this house. I will definitely host people every chance I get. I couldn't find any property history information, but it was built in 2001 so it probably has had only one owner.

I don't really need to say much as to why I chose this mansion in Gloucester. The pictures tell it all. It was built in 1880 but the inside is very modern. In February of 2003 it sold for $2.35 million. Now its been on the market for less than a month and the list price is $2.85 million. The beach is literally in my backyard, and everything in the house is brand new, from the kitchen to the bathrooms.

I chose this property because it was very inexpensive compared to the first two properties I purchased. It is a small beachfront property with only two bedrooms so I would use this house to get away with the wife, or maybe another couple for a few days. I would rarely bring my kids here because it just doesn't have enough room. I couldn't find much information on this properties history. In March of 2003, Daniel Blajda sold the house to a Michael Baker for $115,000. Then in May of 2011, he sold the property to Matthew and Hillary Holian for $115,100; not much more than he paid for it.
