About This Home

As of December 2020

Minutes away from the IPSWICH RIVER with seasonal WATER VIEWS, on a two-acre lot reveals this hidden gem - THE GREYSTONE VILLA. Built in 1898 by Architect James T. Kelley and inspired by “Richardsonian Romanesque” style, the villa was a mix of Southern France, Spanish and Italian Romanesque architectures. Entering the charming round-headed Romanesque front gate is an elegantly decorated living room featuring a fireplace, a large bay window and original hardwood floor with beam ceiling. The formal dining room features a fireplace, built-in shelves, a chandelier and bay windows. Cook in a custom-built kitchen overlooking the serene backyard and enjoy breakfast in front of the fireplace. Completing the first floor is a stunning library, a half bath and a mudroom. The second floor consists of five light-filled bedrooms with generously sized closets, three full bathrooms and two fireplaces. An In-Law Suite with kitchenette, a bedroom and a living room area with a spacious walk-out balcony.
