A home for all seasons…and for so many reasons. A rare opportunity to own a custom-built home by a respected builder, beautifully sited on 2.74 acres in one of Amesbury’s most sought-after locations. Every season brings its own beauty—from lush summer days around the private backyard oasis and vibrant autumn foliage to peaceful winter landscapes and the promise of spring renewal. Designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining, the 3-BR, 2.5-BA home offers hardwood floors, custom White Birch cabinetry, granite countertops, and a spa-inspired primary bath with Mahogany cabinetry, quartz counters, custom glass shower, and Bain Air tub. A bonus study provides an ideal work-from-home space and potential 4th bedroom. The family/entertainment room opens to an elevated patio overlooking the spectacular grounds, with an L-shaped inground pool, pool house with wet bar, 3-season cabana, pickleball court, firepit, deck, Sunsetter awnings, and exceptional landscaping. Imagine summer gatherings, crisp autumn evenings by the fire, and holidays surrounded by family and friends in this beautiful setting. Adding to the possibilities is a separate commercially zoned flex building with 3 private offices, open workspace, half bath, and garage/shop below, with potential ADU possibilities. A truly exceptional property offering luxury living, year-round beauty, entertaining, business potential, and flexibility—all in one remarkable setting.
