Today's estate is in one of my favorite Massachusetts towns. Nahant is a rocky coastal town north of Boston. It has a dramatic coastline of sharp promontories and sweeping ocean vistas. The home shown here is Swallow Cave which was built in the late 1930s for John Roosevelt, son of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his wife Ann Clark. This Mediterranean-style villa sits on two waterfront acres with views of the Atlantic Ocean, Harbor Islands, and the Boston Skyline. The home has seven bedrooms and details that include antique pine floors, a media room, wine cellar, and a four-car garage with one-bedroom apartment. There is an oceanfront pool with cabana, a small vineyard and orchard, and a private beach with your own tiny rocky island to swim out to. It is listed at $5.9 million. After the jump, a summer inside a classic.

This is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen in my life. The owner will be very lucky.

Heck! The view is worth $4.2 million; so the rest of the house is a steal!
