Property Description

Thoughtfully repriced for today’s market, creating a rare opportunity to own this turnkey historic estate. Set on 1.56 private acres just minutes from the Seacoast’s beaches, this beautifully restored New England home offers a rare combination of historic character and everyday livability. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this 3-bedroom, 2400+ sq ft property retains its timeless charm while living with the comfort and ease today’s buyers expect. Inside, warm, sun-filled spaces highlight exposed beams and a natural, easy flow from room to room. The renovated kitchen and updated baths blend seamlessly with the home’s original details, creating a balance of authenticity and modern function. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for both relaxed daily living and entertaining. Extensive improvements—including updated systems, a new septic, and significant exterior upgrades—offer peace of mind rarely found in homes of this era. The property’s post-and-beam barn with wide plank floors adds exceptional versatility, ideal for entertaining, a studio, or private retreat space, while the surrounding grounds offer a mix of open lawn, mature landscaping, and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. Whether as a year-round residence or coastal getaway, this is a home that delivers character, comfort, and lifestyle in one of the Seacoast’s most desirable locations, with easy access to Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Newburyport, Massachusetts.
