About this home
Turning down Morningside Drive, it becomes clear why this street is one of the most sought after in Topsfield. Winding sidewalks, exquisite mature landscaping and a cul de sac are the hallmarks of Morningside River Estates. This impeccably cared for home sits on an acre lot, professionally landscaped and lushly wooded, with a rolling, fenced in back yard and heated, in-ground, pool. The classic, elegant colonial has gorgeous open spaces inside and $200K of custom, upgraded finishes from the builder’s plan, including adjusting the houses orientation to capture light all day long. Wainscoting, French doors, a wood burning fireplace and new paint and newly refinished floors will welcome her new owner. An attached in-law /au-pair apartment, with full kitchen, balcony and separate entrance, a fully finished lower level currently in use as a gym, theatre and gaming space, and ample room for in-home work or learning support the needs of today's busy household. Exquisite inside and out.
