About this home
Entertainer's Dream! This luxury expanded cape was built for the builder himself. This home offers more than 4,500 square feet on a peaceful and private 2.1-acre lot, just two miles from I-95. Designed for effortless entertaining, the open floor plan features expansive living spaces, 9-foot ceilings on both levels, oak hardwood floors, and seamless access to a huge 10 x 40 covered porch from three rooms. At the heart of the home, the true chef’s kitchen boasts a 4x8 foot hickory butcher-block island, pot filler, appliance lift, oversized refrigerator and freezer, and abundant custom cabinetry. Thoughtfully engineered for comfort and efficiency, the home includes a 14kW solar-panel system, 12 inch exterior walls, radiant-heated lower-level floors, and mechanicals updated within the past two years. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate a dedicated wine area with eight refrigerators and capacity for up to 1,200 bottles. Additional amenities include an under-sink ozonator drinking-water system, whole-house water purification and softening, propane outdoor fireplace, 10-zone irrigation system, and an invisible pet fence. Enjoy exceptional privacy, generous indoor-outdoor living, and remarkably convenient to Newburyport (10 mins), Plum Island Beach (20 mins), Commuter Rail (10 mins) and Logan is only 40 mins away. Come by the Open House Saturday 8/15 from 10am - 12pm.
