This architect-designed contemporary is a standout in one of Ipswich's premier neighborhoods, privately set on 1 acre abutting conservation land. Thoughtfully maintained, this 4+ bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers true one-level living. The main living area features soaring ceilings and a gas fireplace, opening directly to the outdoor living spaces. A versatile split-bedroom layout plus a finished lower level with full bath means room for however you live--guest quarters, home office, studio, or all of the above. Abundant windows bring the outside in, with nature views from nearly every room. Thoughtful details and functionality--window seats, a loft, screened porch, decks, patio and two-car garage--make this home as livable as it is beautiful. Meticulously landscaped grounds complete the special setting. Just minutes from Ipswich's vibrant downtown, commuter rail, walking trails, and sandy beaches.
