About This Home

NEW PRICE! Nestled in the heart of charming Merrimacport, this beautifully preserved 4,600 sq ft church offers a rare opportunity to create something truly extraordinary. With sweeping views of the river, this landmark invites you to bring your vision—and your architect—to transform it into a one-of-a-kind single-family home. The soaring architecture, character details, and dramatic presence provide the perfect backdrop for a custom residence that blends historic charm with modern living. While there is currently no parking, there is potential to add a 2-car garage on the lower level, adding convenience to this special property. Located minutes from Routes 95/495, downtown Newburyport, the beaches of Plum Island, and only 50 minutes north of Boston, the setting offers both tranquility and accessibility. Whether you dream of a grand private home or a distinctive project, this river-view gem presents a rare chance to own and reimagine a piece of Merrimacport history.
