Description

“Growing up in Newbury was like living in a Norman Rockwell painting: small-town-friendly, bike ride to Plum Island and to school, downtown Newburyport a stone’s throw away. But our home on High Road was the center of our world. The yard, the pool, the back porch. Friends always wanted to come over to our house. Mom loved it because she knew where we were. What a great place to grow up.” Come see the home at 42 High Road. Update it and start making your own memories.“Growing up in Newbury was like living in a Norman Rockwell painting: small-town-friendly, bike ride to Plum Island and to school, downtown Newburyport a stone’s throw away.
