About this home
Welcome to your ultimate waterfront sanctuary in one of Ipswich’s most desirable coastal neighborhoods. Built in 2004, this stunning Shingle-Style Colonial offers direct Ipswich River frontage complete with a private tidal dock—perfect for boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding right from your backyard. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the open, flowing floor plan features an impressive family room with soaring ceilings, a sun-drenched sunroom, and French doors opening onto a waterfront deck. Water views abound from nearly every angle, leading out to a ground-level patio and three distinct decks—one on each level. Unwind or host guests on the spectacular rooftop deck, or head up to the third-floor deck for breathtaking panoramic views stretching down the river to the bay. Complete with an oversized three-car garage and a brand-new septic system included, this premier lifestyle property makes every day feel like a coastal vacation.
