Listing broker remarks

Privately sited at the end of a cul-de-sac in a premier Ipswich neighborhood, this lovingly maintained 4 bedroom 3 ½ bath Colonial offers an exceptional combination of comfort, privacy, and tremendous versatility. The current owners have thoughtfully cared for the property and completed numerous updates and improvements, creating a truly move-in-ready home. The inviting living room features high ceilings, oversized windows, and a propane gas fireplace that serves as a natural focal point. The spacious eat-in kitchen is well-appointed with wood cabinetry and tile flooring. The open kitchen flows seamlessly into a light infused sunroom, surrounded by walls of windows with direct access to the patio, overlooking the beautifully landscaped private grounds and gardens. A home office, generous dining room, half bath, and laundry area complete the first floor. Upstairs, the generous primary suite provides a peaceful retreat accompanied by three additional bedrooms and a full bath with double vanity sinks. An oversized walk-up attic also offers tremendous storage space. The finished lower level, conveniently accessed from the two-car garage, provides exceptional flexibility with additional living space, including a second home office, entertainment room, full bath, and spacious mudroom. The two-car garage has ample room for vehicles, a workbench, and additional storage. From the main living spaces, step outside to a welcoming patio with a designated outdoor fireplace and swing set. Beyond, the expansive private yard offers abundant space for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, and exploring. Nature lovers will appreciate the adventures awaiting where the home owners have built a fenced-in area providing a wonderful setting for chicken and ducks. The sellers are willing to leave the chicken coop and duck house for the next owners to enjoy. With its private setting, generous living spaces, finished lower level, expansion potential, and enchanting outdoor spaces, this special Ipswich property offers an ideal blend of everyday living and room to grow.— J.
