About this home

Wonderful opportunity to live in a piece of history. Jacob Averill (g. nephew of “witch” Sarah Wildes) built his home in 1751 as part of an early Topsfield settlement ("The Colleges") and in 1840 it was moved by wagon to its current location and reconstructed by well known architect Charles Brackett. This charming 3 BR 2 BA home is immaculate. Pride of ownership shows in this beloved family home of 33 yrs. Many updates - electrical, plumbing/heating, insulation etc. Living Room & Sitting Room/Office both feature fireplaces, wide pine floors and wood details. Open eat-in Kitchen with beehive oven and fireplace. First floor bedroom with adjacent full bath. Upstairs there are 2 more spacious bedrooms and full bath. Master Bedroom could be on 1st or 2nd floor. Private backyard is partially fenced in and has a patio for entertaining. Sought after location with close proximity to all that Topsfield center has to offer. Highly rated Masco school system & easy access rt 1 & 97
