About this home
Charming four-room, 1BR/1BA garden-style condo in the heart of historic Downtown Ipswich — where location truly delivers. Enjoy single-level living with an open floor plan, tall ceilings, hardwood floors, granite countertops, and an updated bath. Freshly painted throughout, with oversized windows that flood the space with natural light — it lives and feels larger than the square footage suggests. The spacious bedroom features built-ins and a cozy nook perfect for a home office. The eat-in kitchen frees up the additional room for a second bedroom or extra living space — flexible to fit your needs. Private laundry in the basement adds everyday convenience. Step outside to a private covered deck overlooking a shared yard, or relax on the classic antique front porch. Steps to downtown shops and restaurants, a short drive to Crane's Beach, and walkable to the commuter rail. A rare find — don't miss it!
