About this home

Location, lot, layout & condition. These factors create "value" in real estate & this remodeled 1836 colonial has phenomenal value. Steps from both downtown Topsfield & the Fairgrounds, this 4,300+ sf antique is in a great location for walkers & commuters alike. Sited on a slight knoll surrounded by pastoral grounds, the home is a picturesque landmark welcoming all who pass. Beyond the sundrenched farmers porch, the home offers a flowing layout. Merging the architectural charm of a bygone era & the necessities of today, this home has it all: from the country kitchen w/corian counters & island, SS appliances, custom cabinets & butlers pantry to the high smooth ceilings, 6 fireplaces, Indian shutters, chair railing, pocket doors, palladium windows, hard and pine floors of the office, sun, living, family and dining rooms. The master features vaulted ceilings, walk/in closet & bath w/Jacuzzi, tiled shower & granite vanity. There's so much more, so you'll have to come and see it all!
