About this home
Classic Colonial charm and grand proportions in the heart of Newburyport’s Mount Rural neighborhood! Welcome home to 30 Toppans Lane, a deeded half-house tucked well back from the street beneath a canopy of magnificent hardwoods. Surrounded by the historic estates of Academic Row, this special home offers the gracious scale of another era and the rare pleasure of nearly half an acre in the city. Imagine summer barbecues, a lively game of touch football, or a quiet afternoon with a book beneath the grand oaks. On fall evenings, the distant cheers of Friday night football at nearby Newburyport High School add to the neighborhood’s timeless New England charm. Inside, soaring ceilings, generously proportioned rooms, and deep, wide hallways create a wonderful sense of space. The formal living and dining rooms are equally suited to holiday gatherings and quiet evenings at home. A versatile den or office could also serve as a breakfast nook, with an adjoining pantry that feels like a natural extension of the sweet, sun-filled kitchen. Freshly updated with new cabinetry, all-new appliances, and a butcher-block island, it’s a welcoming place to begin the day or linger over coffee. A tastefully renovated half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, five bedrooms unfold across the second and third floors, accompanied by beautifully renovated baths and laundry. High ceilings continue throughout, and the spacious third-floor rooms offer plenty of room for family and guests. Enjoy a peaceful setting within walking distance of everything Newburyport is celebrated for: the historic downtown’s cafés, shops, and restaurants; performances at the Firehouse Center for the Arts; and Waterfront Park, with its summer concerts and quintessential New England boardwalk. The commuter rail station is less than a mile from the front door, with convenient access to I-95 and I-495. A home of character, comfort, and exceptional connection to the city in every season.

High Street Neighborhood, located between downtown Newburyport and Atkinson Common, is a historic and residential Newburyport neighborhood with tree-lined sidewalks and Federal-era architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along High Street near State Street, where brick sidewalks, corner storefronts, and café patios set a steady, walkable rhythm. The Custom House Maritime Museum and Firehouse Center for the Arts act as cultural anchors close by. A short walk leads to Market Square’s independent shops and the waterfront boardwalk along the Merrimack River. Housing reads as a mix of restored captain’s homes, tidy colonials, and compact condos. Atkinson Common adds open green space for picnics and seasonal events.
