The Colonel Nathaniel Wade House, circa 1727. Steeped in colonial history, this is one of Ipswich's treasured homes! Elegant period features meld with modern amenities and a recent dramatic family room addition. A 3 year young garage/studio building with finished loft overlooks a fabulous gunite pool. Six fplcs and the kind of wide plank pine floors that are rarely milled today distinguish this warm and inviting property. The generous 1+ acre lot features mature plantings and gardens. A find!
