Listing broker remarks

Available for the first time in almost a half-centry, this cherished 2-bed, 1.5-bath riverfront cottage sits directly on the Parker River in Newbury with a private dock rebuilt in 2023. Newly installed roof. At 950 sq ft, every inch is purposeful, and the screened-in porch facing the water is where mornings begin and evenings never want to end. The whole summer is still ahead — boat to Newburyport, fish off the dock, swim, tube, and make memories worth keeping. And when fall arrives on the Parker River, the water stays warm, the crowds disappear, and the bird watching is among the best on the North Shore. Close to Plum Island, Route 1, and I-95. This is river life at its best.— Keller Williams Realty Evolution
