Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated throughout, this inviting home is filled with warmth, character, and the kind of craftsmanship that's difficult to replicate. Original hardwood floors, decorative moldings, built-in cabinetry, and a welcoming front foyer reflect its timeless appeal, while thoughtful updates create a home that's ready to enjoy. The spacious eat-in kitchen is truly the heart of the home, offering abundant cabinetry, pantry-style storage, a built-in breakfast nook, and easy access to the backyard through one of two sunrooms. Upstairs are two bedrooms, an updated full bath with a double vanity, and an additional bonus room. While recognized as a two-bedroom home on public record, the extra room offers flexibility to suit your needs. Outside, the fully fenced yard is designed for everything from summer dinners on the patio to evenings around the fire pit, with room to garden, play, or simply unwind. A detached two-car garage with a full second story offers exceptional storage, while two driveways on Congress Street and Gardner Street provide plenty of parking. Ideally located just over a mile from downtown Amesbury's shops, restaurants, breweries, and entertainment, approximately one mile from Lake Gardner Beach and the Powwow River Conservation Area, and less than two miles from I-95 and I-495.
