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**

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 4,239 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 26,136 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
