31 High St, Ipswich

Listing broker remarks

Located in the heart of downtown Ipswich, this beautifully renovated c.1880 Victorian is sited well back from historic High Street on an oversized .53-acre parcel abutting town-owned land. Thoughtfully expanded in 2004, the home blends the character of the original house with the comfort of newer construction. Timeless details include wide pine floors, original doors and hardware, curved archways, and moldings while the newer spaces incorporate carefully chosen finishes such as cherry cabinetry and soapstone countertops to create a cohesive feel throughout. French doors from the family room open to the outdoor entertaining area, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The landscaped grounds are equally impressive, with a striking Japanese maple, sweeping lawns, stone walls and walkways, perennial gardens, and outdoor gathering spaces. Offering a perfect balance of historic character, modern comfort and connection to nature - just moments from shops, restaurants and the MBTA train.— LandVest, Inc., Ipswich
