About this home
This timeless colonial home offers historic character and charm. Inside, the living room and formal dining room showcase gorgeous pine floors, while the spacious kitchen features a beamed ceiling, a large center island, ample countertop and cabinet space, and a cozy fireplace. The family room, with its vaulted, beamed ceilings and glass slider, offers access to the back deck. Upstairs, find three generously sized bedrooms and a walk-up attic brimming with potential. You will love the privacy of the large, flat back yard. Most of the windows have been replaced and there is an oversized, detached, 1-car garage. With some sweat equity, you can make this home your own while enjoying the nearby beaches at Plum Island, the beautiful Merrimac River and vibrant downtown Newburyport.
