A stunning architectural gem, this house is an authentic and rare example of a true, early American home. If you are a purist, this is the house you have been looking for and thought you could never find. This pristine 18th century antique was fully restored in 2016 and is located in the highly desirable South End, with peeks of the Merrimack River and steps to Simmons Beach. Much of the original detail remains with the recent addition seamlessly integrating all of today's modern conveniences, while maintaining the warmth and romance of a bygone era. Updates include a new kitchen with Miele appliances and soapstone counters and sink, family room, roof, siding, wiring, plumbing and HVAC. The oversized lot has been professionally landscaped with several outdoor rooms and expansive open space, which can easily accommodate a garage and/or an in-ground pool. Minutes to Plum Island, downtown Newburyport and commuter routes. A rare opportunity for the discerning buyer
