1 Federal St, Newburyport, MA 01950

Step through the gates of the private garden with specimen trees, plantings, and a garden pool with a fountain and find yourself whisked away into the charm and history of a first-period c.1680 built by Col. Daniel Pierce Jr and masterfully modernized yet retaining its timeless essence. This unique home now gleams with a contemporary kitchen with radiant heat and updated bathrooms, all nestled within a structure revitalized with new windows, roofing, and a chimney—meticulously restored by top masons. Cedar siding and soy foam insulation enhance its eco-friendliness. Period features like the walk-in fireplace, exposed beams, and stunning wide pine floors evoke a sense of wonder. The property's bonus feature is the tastefully renovated carriage house with its sleek bath and kitchenette, alongside the rarity of a two-car garage in downtown Newburyport, culminating in a home that's both a historical treasure and a modern sanctuary. Close to the rail trail, shops, and restaurants.
