About This Home
Must be seen! This beautifully restored farmhouse blends timeless character with modern comfort. Warm tones evoke the feeling of candle light. Gather in the European Pub by the roaring fire! High ceilings and original details pair with updated systems, including a high-efficiency boiler, dual water heaters, hi-velocity heating and air conditioning, plus new electrical and plumbing. The brand-new kitchen and two new baths mean nothing needs to be done, yet there is plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Incredible outdoor space features a stone fireplace and live-fire cooking station, perfect for entertaining. Ideally located, just 24 miles to Portsmouth, 34 miles to Boston, and about an hour to Portland. Only 7 minutes from Newburyport and 3 miles to the nearest marina, offering easy access to Ipswich, Gloucester, and the Atlantic Ocean. Plum Island beaches are just 6 miles away, making this the perfect blend of historic charm, modern amenities, and an unbeatable location.
