Welcome to this stunning contemporary residence, thoughtfully designed to blend modern luxury with everyday comfort, all set within a peaceful natural landscape. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen featuring a generous center island that seamlessly opens to a sun-filled great room with soaring cathedral ceilings and a striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace. A versatile first-floor en-suite bedroom offers ideal accommodations for guests or extended family. Upstairs, the serene primary suite provides a private retreat, complemented by three spacious bedrooms and an expansive media room. The lower level is designed for recreation and entertaining, complete with a game room, wet bar, and a fitness area. Step outside to your own private sanctuary, where an expansive patio, outdoor kitchen, and grapevine-covered trellis create the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings. Nestled on more than 5 acres of land, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility.
Common Pasture, located between downtown Newburyport and the Merrimack River waterfront, is a residential and coastal Newburyport neighborhood with broad marsh views and a network of quiet lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the High Street corridor near Atkinson Common, where joggers, dog walkers, and porch-lit evenings set the tone. Architecture leans toward classic New England forms—Colonial and Federal-inspired homes alongside well-kept capes—framed by stone walls and mature trees. The nearby Clipper City Rail Trail adds a car-free ribbon for walking and biking. Plum Island’s dunes and birding flats sit just beyond, shaping the salt-air atmosphere.
