Description

If it is possible to have it all, this is it! You are less than 2 miles from being at the center of shopping and dining in Newburyport, only 4 miles from having your toes in the sand at Plum Island, and at home on a personal oasis of 4 level aces. Delightfully deceiving with over 1800 sq ft, this contemporary cottage is artfully designed with an open flow from the entry to the new mudroom with vaulted ceiling. Charming in every detail, the first floor features a custom kitchen, open staircase, wood...If it is possible to have it all, this is it! You are less than 2 miles from being at the center of shopping and dining in Newburyport, only 4 miles from having your toes in the sand at Plum Island, and at home on a personal oasis of 4 level aces. Delightfully deceiving with over 1800 sq ft, this contemporary cottage is artfully designed with an open flow from the entry to the new mudroom with vaulted ceiling. Charming in every detail, the first floor features a custom kitchen, open staircase, wood stove and wood floors. Walk upstairs to 3 bedrooms and a full bath and on to a 3rd floor master suite that overlooks the rear grounds. Tastefully decorated in harmony with the outdoors, it also retains a beachy feeling thanks to driftwood accents and playful sea creatures affixed to the creamy architectural columns. An enduring collaboration of past and present, this much-loved home was fully renovated over the last six years including new systems and septic. Come see us at the open house!
