About this home
Historic New England character, a beautiful private yard, in-town location and an extraordinary detached carriage house come together at this one-of-a-kind Topsfield property. Set on an approximately .6 acre lot, the home feels surprisingly tucked away among mature trees, stone walls, and established gardens. In-town location offers close proximity to Topsfield's village center -- local restaurants, shops, library, and many celebrations and community events held at the Town green. Inside, wide-pine floors, beamed ceilings, built-ins and a gas-log fireplace give the home warmth and character. The custom kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, Sub-zero refrigerator, gas cooktop and double ovens, with flexible living and dining spaces and French doors opening to the brick patio, and expansive backyard and outdoor pizza oven. A dedicated study/library, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, second-floor laundry and front and back staircases add everyday function. The detached, heated Carriage House is what truly sets this property apart. Filled with character, it offers soaring ceilings, exposed white-oak framing, two lofts, workshop space, kitchen area and ¾ bath. Its commercial zoning creates intriguing possibilities for a studio, office, workshop, creative space or other permitted use, subject to buyer due diligence. Rail trail and Topsfield Fairgrounds are nearby, and Route 1 and I-95 provide convenient access throughout the North Shore and Greater Boston. **Note: some photos virtually staged**
One of Topsfield's significant historic properties, it is located just a short walk to the charming New England village. This meticulously maintained 1850 antique has been updated with all the modern amenities. Also on the property is a finished classic carriage house with full kitchen, bath, workspace, living area, and loft. From the moment you cross the threshold of the main house, you'll be captivated by the foyer/staircase and the beautifully remodeled kitchen. The custom Crown Point cabinetry, built in Sub Zero refrigerator, gas cooktop, and double oven are complimented by the finely crafted built-in hutch. Enjoy the bright and sunny family room with French doors leading out to the garden terrace. The house also boasts 2 1/2 updated baths, antique living/dining room with fireplace, library/office, and three bedrooms. The surrounding property features stone walls, beautiful trees, and established gardens. For additional features see attached highlights.
