About this home
Charming farmhouse-style Colonial blending timeless character with modern comfort. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a bright, open-concept kitchen and living area, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs you'll find all three bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, including a spacious primary suite with a private ensuite bath. The interior has been freshly painted, while the hardwood floors and carpeting are in excellent condition, making this home truly move-in ready. Step outside to an oversized backyard perfect for entertaining, complete with a large two-story outbuilding with greenhouse space and electricity, ideal for gardening, hobbies, a workshop, or potential ADU conversion. Conveniently located in desirable Bradford with easy access to shopping, restaurants, commuter routes, and the commuter rail, this home offers farmhouse charm, modern convenience, and exceptional versatility.
Ward Hill, located between Bradford and Downtown Haverhill, is a residential and hillside Haverhill neighborhood with wooded slopes and broad Merrimack Valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ward Hill Reservation trailheads, where parking pull-offs and path entrances set a weekend rhythm. Streets climb past mid-century ranches and older capes, with stone walls and pockets of conservation land shaping the edges. The hilltop geography brings a quieter, tucked-away feel while still tying into the city’s river corridor. Community pillars nearby include the Haverhill Farmers’ Market, the Haverhill Public Library, and the Haverhill Historical Society.
