Available for the first time in 70 years! Nestled on nearly 2 acres with breathtaking views of the Great Marsh and Plum Island Reservation, this expanded country Cape offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. In need of updating, the home features 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths and boasts an inviting layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The oversized garage/barn includes a generous playroom and a workshop—perfect for hobbies, guests, or creative pursuits. As you enter the home through the sun-drenched garden/sunroom, take in the stunning views of the expansive back yard, tennis court and the open fields and great marsh beyond. Enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful, scenic surroundings just minutes from vibrant downtown Newburyport, Plum Island beaches, the commuter rail, and major routes. A rare opportunity to own a slice of the coastal countryside!
