Property Description

Experience the best of Newburyport in this beautifully converted SF 1850s Colonial. Set on a lush half-acre, this home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 first-floor flex rooms—perfect for an office, den, or additional bedroom. The interior shines with historic wide-plank pine and polished oak flooring. A welcoming entry leads to an open living/dining area featuring a cathedral wood-planked ceiling and expansive windows overlooking the backyard with a two-tiered deck and gazebo. The kitchen boasts custom Walter Lane cabinetry, while the sun-soaked family room provides a warm retreat with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and a glimpse of the river. Dual staircases lead to the second floor, featuring a primary suite with skylights, bath w/vaulted ceiling, and walk-in shower. Modern updates include NEW 2026 heating system, newer central A/C, and a 2-car garage. Just minutes from the vibrant downtown, this residence is a serene escape close to local parks, trails, marinas, and beaches.
