Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful Home in Historic Downtown Newburyport
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Newburyport
We used to live in this home and love Newburyport and the area. We have family in the area and love to visit. We remodeled the home for our retirement.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We are able to walk to everything....Coffee shops, restaurants, outdoor concerts, plays. Hiking and cycling in Maudslay State Park is fanastic and it is only a short bike ride to walk the 6.2 miles of sandy beaches on Plum Island. The train to Boston is less than 1 mile away, if we want to visit the city! It's a quick 38 mile drive from Boston Logan and close to the best of New Historic Portsmouth NH is only 25 minutes away and the outlet shops in Kittery only 35 minutes. We love walking and admiring the historic homes.
Beautiful walkway with plenty of benches for people & boat watching. Go Whale watching, deep sea fishing or take a dinner cruise.
Sea Captains, angered by high taxes, often smuggled goods through secret tunnels in Boardman Street. These tunnels were later used by the underground to transport fugitive slaves. Houses on both sides
Waterfront Park with playground, walking path, boat landing, tennis courts, basketball courts and soon to be completed bike path that connects to the Harbor Boardwalk and train to Boston.
Bike Path that connect to the Boardwalk and also to the Train Station to Boston. Great for walking as well.

Email from an August 09 Guest. Hi Sara, Just wanted to let you know we enjoyed our time at the vacation house. It was great!! The house was very comfortable, and had enough room for all 8 of us. The kitchen was great- we had a couple extended family gatherings, and had plenty of dishes, wine glasses, etc. We loved the location, and brought our bikes to roam around the area. The girls used the inflatable bed, and had quite a laugh! It was enormous, and stood about 3 foot high (was very comfortable). If you are renting the house again next year, please let us know. Thanks for all the little details that you thought of in your house.
