Listing broker remarks

This nine-room Cape Cod–style home offers 2,437 sq. ft. of refined living space, blending classic New England charm with modern updates. Built in 1954, the home was extensively renovated and expanded by a distinguished local Architect in 2006, making the residence feel both timeless and contemporary. The main level features a sun-filled family room with a corner gas fireplace, an open kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a dining area with a dramatic cathedral ceiling, surrounded by windows. A library with built-ins, a dedicated home office, and a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath complete the first floor. Quality craftsmanship is evident throughout: hardwood and tile flooring, detailed millwork, extensive built-ins, Hardie Plank siding, Andersen windows, and a distinctive rooftop cupola enhance the home’s architectural character. The second floor includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous walk-in attic. The partially finished lower level adds a versatile bonus room with a wet bar, plus a substantial unfinished area ideal for storage or workshop. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting, with a private yard, blue stone patio, mature landscaping, and ample off-street parking. The property is within a short walk of Newburyport’s waterfront, downtown shops, restaurants, and minutes from local beaches, the commuter rail, Routes 95/495, Boston, and multiple regional airports.— Realty One Group Nest
