This unique property has been in the same family for the last seven decades. A Pre-Revolutionary center-chimney colonial home, situated on .86 acres along the Merrimack River, in an elegant North End Newburyport neighborhood; both accessible, yet very private. The summer porch overlooking the river offers breathtaking views of the bird sanctuary on Carrs Island and beyond. Enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets all year round from the riverfront with views as far as the bridge downtown. Included on the waterfront is a private deep-water dock and float, ideal for fishing and boating. This historic, 3 bedroom post and beam home, with 5 fireplaces, wide pine floors, and rich wood paneling, is a stunning reflection of its colonial past, and is being offered "as is". But, with its expansion potential and exceptional location, it could become one of Newburyport's most striking residential properties.History, nature, privacy and potential - 1 Jefferson Street in Newburyport
