Description
Filled with charm and character, this 2-bed, 1.5-bath colonial-style home is nestled among the trees on over a half-acre with a large, private, fenced-in yard, raised garden beds, and a paved driveway leading to a detached oversized garage/workshop/bonus flex space with a side shed. Enjoy the large yard with perennial red roses, fragrant purple lilacs, and lush hostas that come back year after year. This is a comfortable home offering plenty of opportunity for expansion, with some spaces that you can refresh over time. The open first-floor plan features a renovated, light and bright eat-in kitchen with granite counters, Bosch & Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, a dining area, and a new Bosch stove hood (still in the box); a custom-built-in window seat with storage; a formal living room/den or home office with a bay window and French doors (or a possible 1st-floor bedroom); and a spacious vaulted, beamed-ceiling family room addition with laminate wood flooring, a freestanding gas fireplace, ceiling fans, surround-sound speakers, French doors, 1/2 bath, closet, and a bay window overlooking the yard and trees. Hardwood floors throughout (some areas ready for refinishing). Upstairs features 2 bedrooms, a renovated full bath with a nicely tiled shower and tub, and the entry and remaining 2nd-level spaces offer opportunities for cosmetic refreshing, including wall and trim/door refinishing-ideal for buyers looking to personalize and add value. Ample storage with a full, unfinished basement with exterior access, cabinets, shelving, a Weil-McLain boiler, a new water heater, a GE washer/dryer with a utility sink, a 2nd refrigerator and a small freezer, plus a fully planked attic with pull-down stairs. Fantastic location on a sidewalk-lined street-just 1/2 mile to downtown Ipswich's riverfront restaurants, shops, and the commuter rail (approx. 55 minutes to Boston's North Station). A short 2.5 miles to the famous Clam Box of Ipswich restaurant, only 5.5 miles to stunning Crane Beach & Castle Hill, and close to boating, kayaking, hiking, and biking. Ipswich residents enjoy access to the Annual Crane Beach parking sticker. Ideal price for buyers looking to enhance and customize a well-loved home. First showings at OPEN HOUSES SAT 9/19 & SUN 9/20, 11-12:30pm. Offer Deadline: Wednesday 9/23/26 at 4PM.
