Property Description

This charming Arts and Crafts cottage on 13+ acres was built in 1911 by J.D.Phillips (Salem merchant family) as chronicled in C.L.Bond's "The Houses of Topsfield". Extra-tall ceilings elevate the sense of space of the 8-room residence blending period details with an airy layout. At the heart of the cottage is an eat-in kitchen featuring large original built-in cabinets, rich butcher block countertops, and a classic farmer's sink. With 2 comfortable bedrooms, 1 full bath, and flexible living space, this home offers endless potential for a quiet country homestead with possible development opportunities. Abuts the Greenbelt's Donibristle Reservation (44-acre of wooded trails) with nearby amenities such as Masconomet Regional Schools, the Topsfield Fair, the Linear Common Rail Trail, Zumi’s Espresso, the Bagel Bin, the Essex Co-Op and newly opened Alfalfa Farm Cellars – craft brews and wines. A rare property of this scale, history, and character in Topsfield is a once-in-a-lifetime find!
