Newbury, Massachusetts real estate & homes - 36 High Road

http://www.CherylCaldwellHomes.com - Newbury, Massachusetts, established in 1635 is a town rich in history and beauty.  Its boundaries are filled with beaches, marshes and farm land. Newbury is also the home of the Parker River and a portion of Plum Island, providing ample opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming and bird watching.  Located next to the historic seaport City of Newburyport, less than 1 hour north of Boston and ½ hour south of Maine and New Hampshire it is easily accessible and becoming a well known tourist destination, while keeping its historic charm and character.
 
36 High Road was built in 1749 as the Parsonage of the First Church of Newbury for the Reverend John Tucker and his family.  This treasure stands proudly overlooking the Newbury Upper Green, which was once used as a training ground for the military.  The Upper Green is now better known as a town common, with a duck pond that doubles as a skating pond in the winter for young and old alike, a baseball field for little leaguers, the venue for the firemans muster during Yankee Homecoming events and is even home of the Annual Tree Lighting for the Town of Newburys own Christmas Tree. Its become a focal point looked upon fondly by residents and visitors alike, and the homes that border the Upper Green have become some of the most sought after addresses in the area. 

The home itself is as charming as it is historic and has been lovingly maintained and enhanced by the current owner. Upon entering through the expansive front porch, you are greeted by an elegant center staircase leading to the second floor. Period features and rich hardwood floors abound. A warm and inviting wood burning fireplace in the keeping room off the kitchen provide the perfect respite from cold evenings and wintry days.  The first floor consists of the kitchen, living room, dining room, family room and full bath.  A second staircase provides easy access from the kitchen to the second floor as well.  Four large, sunfilled bedrooms and full bath make up the 2nd floor plan. The walkup attic, currently unfinished, would make a tremendous master bedroom suite, au pair or guest suite. 

There is also a full basement with walk-out access providing more than ample space for storage. 

The home is located on a .61 acre parcel, providing additional opportunities for expansion.  Positioned at the foot of Rolfes Lane which was touted in 2006 by Boston Magazine as one of the 10 best addresses in Massachusetts - 36 High Road is a short 20 minute walk to downtown Newburyport, a leisurely bike ride to Plum Island, and a 5 minute drive to the Commuter Rail  into Boston.




Newbury's Upper Green properties, which rarely become available for sale, boast an average sale price of over $1 million - 36 High Road offers not only a tremendous investment opportunity, but ownership in a piece of history.
