This historic Federal in Newburyport's sought-after South End offers the best of in-town living--just one block to downtown yet tucked away with rare privacy. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, this award-winning home blends architectural pedigree with modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, four fireplaces, fine moldings, Indian shutters, and a graceful flying staircase showcase c.1735 craftsmanship, while the updated white kitchen with quartz counters anchors today's lifestyle. A sunny Beacon Hill-style backyard with hot tub and coveted off-street parking is extraordinary this close to State Street. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath occupy the second floor, while the expansive third floor with beamed ceilings and its own three-quarter bath offers flexibility as a guest suite, bonus living area, or additional bedrooms. Steps to shops, dining, the waterfront, the Rail Trail, and beaches--downtown living without compromise.
