This is that house you've always wished would come on the market! The Jonathan Dole House is a quintessential New England 1680 Saltbox located on historic Ring's Island, just across the Merrimack River from downtown Newburyport. Uncompromising attention to detail has been given by the current owner in preserving and restoring this home. Architectural features include original wide pine floors, gunstock corner posts, paneling, 5 fireplaces, wooden gutters and wood shingled roof. Two outbuildings grace the manicured grounds including established gardens, natural stone outcroppings and rock walls. This first period home is sited in the center of this former fishing village. Stroll down to the water's edge in the evenings or take advantage of two marinas, public boat launch and several waterfront bistros. A rare opportunity for the discerning buyer to own a truly unique home. Of note, American Poetess Edna St. Vincent Millay lived in this home.
