Set on a knoll behind a rustic stone wall this charming shingled Cape is anything but traditional inside. Once a breezeway, now a gracious entrance welcomes you to a bright and airy open floor plan including a formal dining area with large picture windows and a beautifully updated kitchen with stainless appliances, solid surface counter tops and an island/breakfast bar. A living/family room anchored by a large fireplace, a full bath and a spacious bedroom round out the first floor. On the second level you’ll find a true Master suite with a sitting area, a large bath, walk-in closet and a cozy office. A retreat in every respect, you’ll wake up facing a wall of windows framing a picturesque New England landscape. Other features include hardwood floors, central air and a deck and patio overlooking the pastoral views beyond. Minutes from downtown Newburyport, Plum Island, ocean beaches and close to commuter routes.
