About this property
The Pumpkin House, a Classic Single Family Sanctuary in the Heart of Newburyport
Welcome to The Pumpkin House, an exquisitely located single family sanctuary. Just bring your suitcase to play, relax, entertain & work (if you have to...) from this charming, period gem in the heart of the ‘Port City’. No shared common spaces, gas grills, patios, walls or ceilings. The entire house is yours! This beautifully renovated historic home is steps to the best dining, shopping, and entertainment Newburyport has to offer. The property features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, sleeping up to 4 guests in two queen beds. The home has an open concept living/dining area with updated contemporary finishes that spills out into a secluded, Beacon Hill-style patio oasis. Other features include a sizable office/study area, 1 off-street parking space, a fully equipped granite & stainless chef’s kitchen, a first floor w/d, all bedding and linens, towels, o/d furniture, gas grill, a/c, and beach towels, cooler and chairs for your warm weather excursions. You are only two blocks to shops, restaurants & riverside attractions and a short drive to local beaches, farms & one of America’s highest rated bird-watching preserves. The perfect location to absorb the local flavor, take a train to Boston, or jaunt to the gorgeous lakes & mountains of NH, ME and VT.

About the host
Hosted by Theresa DiPiro
It was love at first sight with the Pumpkin House. We live and work in Newburyport and feel so fortunate that we can reside in this amazing city where adventure, shopping, beaches, hiking, farms and fabulous restaurants are within minutes. We have three wonderful girls, a dog (Ozzy) and a cockateil (Mr. Feathers). We make sure we take advantage of all the fun, adventure and relaxation Newburyport has to offer.
Why they chose this property
The Pumpkin house is an alluring downtown gem. It is tucked away on a quiet, historic street only 2-3 blocks away from downtown and the vibrant Newburyport waterfront. We furnished this home so every guest feels like they are at home in a wonderful seaside New England retreat. We especially love the secluded Beacon Hill-type garden in the rear; here you can relax and read a book or entertain your favorite guests. We have done our best to outfit the house so as to accommodate every guests' needs, but we are always open to suggestions!
What makes this property unique
The location is difficult to beat. It is within walking distance of all of Newburyport's most popular offerings and a quick bike ride to tranquil beaches, farm stands, hiking and much more.
