Units n/a

Seller says sell! Beautifully and lovingly maintained Victorian home with garage/barn and unfinished loft on large lot in downtown Ipswich. This home has had just two owners since 1880s. Current multi-generational owners have lived here happily for 4 generations! According to Ipswich bylaws, property can be a 2-family by right. Potentially an ADU by right on the third floor with conditions. A potential second unit above the garage by special permit, and, potentially a buildable in-fill lot by special permit.**New custom double pane windows in the main house and all new oak carriage garage doors with newly painted trim. Period details abound throughout this stately home including pocket doors, moldings, wood fireplace surrounds, a traditional sewing room currently used as a study room and so much more. Check out historical background in the attached article by Gordon Harris. Ideally located downtown with access to all amenities. Make this your dream home. Come home to Ipswich
