Historic New England character, a beautiful private yard, in-town location and an extraordinary detached carriage house come together at this one-of-a-kind Topsfield property. Set on an approximately .6 acre lot, the home feels surprisingly tucked away among mature trees, stone walls, and established gardens. In-town location offers close proximity to Topsfield's village center -- local restaurants, shops, library, and many celebrations and community events held at the Town green. Inside, wide-pine floors, beamed ceilings, built-ins and a gas-log fireplace give the home warmth and character. The custom kitchen features Shaker cabinetry, Sub-zero refrigerator, gas cooktop and double ovens, with flexible living and dining spaces and French doors opening to the brick patio, and expansive backyard and outdoor pizza oven. A dedicated study/library, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, second-floor laundry and front and back staircases add everyday function. The detached, heated Carriage House is what truly sets this property apart. Filled with character, it offers soaring ceilings, exposed white-oak framing, two lofts, workshop space, kitchen area and ¾ bath. Its commercial zoning creates intriguing possibilities for a studio, office, workshop, creative space or other permitted use, subject to buyer due diligence. Rail trail and Topsfield Fairgrounds are nearby, and Route 1 and I-95 provide convenient access throughout the North Shore and Greater Boston. **Note: some photos virtually staged**
