About this home

Set back on a picturesque 1-acre parcel and bordering acres of woods, this recently renovated home offers the perfect blend of original architectural details and modern updates. Inside enjoy a new kitchen, fresh interior paint, and refinished wood flooring. Character-rich details shine throughout, including a double-sided fireplace, beamed ceiling, wainscoting, built in shelving, brick flooring, and French doors. Designed for easy single-level living, a calming neutral palette is accentuated by warm natural light. Outdoors, a brick patio and expansive level lot create endless opportunities for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing in nature. Hobbyists will love the chicken coop, raised garden beds, and established perennial gardens. Ideally located near commuter rail services, downtown Newburyport, area beaches, trail systems, and the town boat launch, this property offers a captivating blend of scenic charm and everyday accessibility. Showings start at open house on 4/9 from 5:00-6:30.
