About this home

Nestled on a sprawling 2 1/2 acre lot, this historical landmark is a true testament to the advanced architectural changes that evolved in the late 17th century. Boasting pride of ownership - The Dr. Peter Toppan House (cir. 1697) has been beautifully preserved throughout, capturing the essence of history in real time. Presenting the perfect collaboration of wide pine-wood plank floors, paneled walls, intricate woodwork details & built-ins; seven statement fireplaces; exposed beams & large, sun-filled rooms. This property is truly one of a kind, showcasing the home's natural wood exterior with Gambrel Roof; a large, detached garage and a lot surrounded by privacy & serenity. This remarkable home has been lovingly updated throughout the years and sits in the heart of downtown Newbury. Located close to downtown Newburyport, Merrimack River waterfront, Plum Island beaches and is close proximity to Rt. 1, Rt 95 and the commuter rail.
