Property Description

In the heart of Newburyport's coveted South End, this classic Federal blends timeless character with an exceptional walk-to-everything location just moments to the waterfront, Joppa Park, downtown restaurants, shops, Rail Trail, and Plum Island beaches. Rich period details shine throughout with wide pine floors, beamed ceilings, crown moldings, and a center staircase spanning three levels. The main living spaces flow effortlessly, featuring a cherry kitchen, fireplaced family room, formal dining room, and a private home office. Four bedrooms and 3.5 baths are thoughtfully distributed across the upper levels, including a flexible third-floor retreat with an additional bedroom, living space, and full bath--ideal for guests or extended living. A private courtyard with patio, pavered driveway, brick walkway, and 2-car off-street parking completes this rare South End offering.
