This is it. This is the home you've been looking for. Not an apartment. Not a mere "house." This is an entire ESTATE on more than TWO ACRES OF LAND. I googled it ... that's nearly 100,000 SQUARE FEET! This is a once-a-lifetime opportunity to score something truly magical, a veritable palace amongst the trees, above the river an escape from reality. Let me guess. You opened up Zillow/Trulia/HotPads/whatever to find a place in Newburyport or the surrounding coastal towns, with easy access to Boston both by car and commuter rail. And while you found a lot of charming spots, you were disappointed by the small homes and lots, exorbitant prices, and relative lack of amenities. But then you realized, as we did, that if you were willing to live just a quick and easy 15 MINUTE DRIVE outside of Newburyport a lovely 8.5 MILE BIKE RIDE along the river you could literally have your cake and eat it too: Behold: Your 2.25-ACRE ESTATE, a spectacular 1715 replica just above the shimmering Merrimack River, in charming, family-centric Merrimac, with great schools, and LITERALLY ALL THE THINGS. GROUNDS/AMENITIES 20x40-FOOT HEATED SALT-SYSTEM LAP POOL: This isn't just a decorative little splash pond, this is a proper lap pool to cool off and exercise all summer long and beyond: With a brand new pool heater and salt water chlorine system, you'll get a full 5-6 months to enjoy this delightful oasis while the non-chemical-sourced chlorine cleanses, leaving your skin delightfully soft like a baby. Feeling more like jumping and splashing? Enjoy the deep end with its oh-so-bouncy diving board :) INCLUDES PATIO CHAIRS AND TABLES! LARGE OUTDOOR JACUZZI by the back terrace nestled under the trees for privacy RUSTIC STONE FIRE PIT for when you feel like glamping right outside your own home (that's "glamor camping" lol) HUGE BACK TERRACE WITH STRING LIGHTS & OUTDOOR AUDIO: Rest, relax, and party to your hearts' and stomachs' content. Large 6-place table with chairs and umbrella included! And wait for it PRIVATE TENNIS COURT: Seriously. This is why we bought the house on the spot, sight unseen. No joke. PRIVATE BASKETBALL COURT: Ok, so technically it's the same court as the tennis court, but, with basket ball hoops on each side! NATURE/BEAUTY And don't forget the absolutely sublime nature here: Steps from the Merrimac River A spectacular symphony of birds Adorable bunnies Majestic deer A little planter garden (we call it our mini-farm!) to satisfy your green-thumb desires :) An absolutely magical assortment of flowers, plants, and greenery around the entire perimeter of both the house and pool Solar pathway lights and pool-surround lights THE HOME And that's just the grounds.
