Experience the timeless elegance of Berry Farm, a distinguished 19th-century estate located at 38 Main Street in the heart of Newbury. This 3,649 sq. ft. colonial masterpiece, crowned with a graceful mansard roof and wrapped in classic covered porches, stands as a rare blend of historic grandeur and curated beauty. Set on 1.4 acres of meticulously manicured, century-old grounds, the property welcomes you with botanical splendor-mature trees, vibrant heirloom plantings, and a tranquil live Koi pond that evokes a private sanctuary. A separately fenced inground lap-pool and expansive flat green lawn offers resort-like living, perfect for entertaining, recreation, and pets within a fully fenced landscaped. The grand front entry reveals a dramatic mahogany staircase rising to five oversized bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Sunlight pours across newly finished hardwood floors, highlighting exquisite 12-inch baseboards and intricate period moldings.
