Listing broker remarks

Opportunity awaits on a beautiful lot in a quiet Amesbury neighborhood, surrounded by tall, shady oak trees and just minutes from vibrant downtown! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers comfortable single-level living on the main floor, with three bedrooms, a full bath, and an easy, functional layout ready for a new owner’s ideas and updates. Downstairs, the partially finished lower level adds a fourth bedroom and second full bath, with additional work already underway and plenty of opportunity to complete and expand the living space to suit your needs. An attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience, but the setting is what really makes this property special. Mature trees create a peaceful, private feel, while the expansive lot provides additional privacy and possibilities, including potential expansion. This is a home with good bones, a beautiful setting, and plenty of room to create something special. Whether you’re looking for single-level living, additional space downstairs, or a property you can update over time and truly make your own, there’s a lot of potential here—all in a convenient location close to downtown Amesbury’s shops, restaurants, and amenities.— Churchill Properties
