Perfect downsize or first-time buyer opportunity! This 3BR/1BA ranch on 1/3 acre is desirably located, convenient to farms/stand, schools, parks, and Willowdale State forest with miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Ipswich is a premier north shore community, known for a low tax rate, Crane Beach ($20/year for resident sticker), Zagat-rated restaurants, and MBTA to Boston/Newburyport. In need of upgrades and special touches, the property avails an eat-in kitchen with tile backsplash, and half-partition wall that adds openness. The living room has a sunny picture window; and the bathroom has partially tiled walls. Radiant heat. Extra storage is available above the 1-car garage. Plenty of off-street parking. Broad lawn and mature shrubs and trees. Easy to maintain!
