About this home
51 High St, surrounded by 2½ acres of gorgeous land & one of only a few large estate homes atop “The Ridge”- is ready for you! Finishing touches were just completed to massive renovations & a huge expansion of this Newburyport treasure. The original dwelling, built circa 1800, was restored preserving period details. Major structural work includes foundation, sill, excavation & rebuilding of basement floor; upper floors & ceilings; rewiring, insulation, exterior siding. The original barn was relocated (whilst given a face lift to foundation & roof) to build the architecturally designed addition on the main house. Highest quality materials include state of the art systems & a chef’s kitchen to die for! Outside a new circular blue stone patio off the sun room enhances the flow from the elegant dining & living rooms. Prof landscaping just completed. Only 1/3 of a mile from shops & eateries. This country retreat can be yours now & for generations to come. Detailed project info available.
