Listing broker remarks

Step inside and feel history at every turn. In 1912, William Biddle, the industrialist who made Amesbury the Carriage Capital of the World and whose firm crafted bodies for Rolls-Royce, built this mansion as his crowning achievement. Mahogany box beams soar above leaded glass bookcases and windows, fireplaces crackle with warmth, a dumbwaiter runs, and servant bells recall an era of remarkable craftsmanship. Entertain beneath a crystal chandelier, then spill into the heated sunroom, wrapped in windows and its own fireplace. Merrimack River views follow you room to room and from the rooftop deck toward the Marina at Amesbury Point just upriver. A chef's kitchen with a 10' island and double oven anchors modern life, while the butler's pantry remains as Mr. Biddle intended. 3-car garage, private backyard, one hour to Boston. Ideal for primary or multi-generational living and au pair suites. This is not just a home, it is a piece of American history, waiting for its next great chapter.— Lamacchia Realty, Inc.
