The first and second items in this week’s roundup of the most expensive home sales in Massachusetts should be familiar to regular readers. That’s why you should check out the third home. Tucked – and tucked is the word – on top of a granite cliff in Marblehead, the 15-year-old Shingle-style property fits quite a lot onto its narrow parcel, while pushing the house as close to the water’s edge as you’d probably dare to live. For anyone with a more adventurous bent, there’s a set of stairs carved into the cliff that lead to a miniature low tide-only beach.
