    What's special

    A hidden gem - 38 N Main St was built in 1763 becoming the Old Post Office (PO) in 1790. Both the John Manning house next door and the PO underwent major renovations during the 1960's. Subsequently, the PO has been luxuriously updated and cared for by its current owners. Renovations from 2007-9 include entire new wiring and plumbing, Lochinvar HVAC, on-demand water heater and new roof (2014). Kitchen features Wolf (4) burner gas stovetop w/downdraft, and (2) SubZero undercounter refrigerators, Bosch washer/dryer unit and wine cooler. Custom terrazzo floors grace the entrance, bathroom and kitchen, w/1st floor bedroom and its flooring of hand-cut end-grain black walnut; upstairs has original wood floors and frame. 3-season room was added to the rear plus new garden shed. Historic fireplaces, panels and custom woodwork throughout grace this unique property. A unique property for the discerning owner. Ipswich is a premier coastal North Shore community and is known for its open space, CSAs, Castle Hill, Riverwalk and Crane Beach. Town resident beach sticker provides priority access to Crane Beach.
