Exceptional location abutting the southern edge of the Willowdale State Forest in the Eastern section of Topsfield, Massachusetts. This mid-century home was built with it’s location and setting in mind. Situated high and back off the road with an orientation that takes advantage of the sun and the landscape. The 2.09 acres it sits on, is mostly wooded with just enough lawn area and natural looking easy perennial landscaping with an irrigation system. While at the house you get the feeling of being in a private, peaceful remote location…. far away, yet you are actually in an established neighborhood of beautiful homes. This is a home to fully enjoy in all the seasons. This area is easily accessible to transportation, businesses, restaurants and extensive recreation opportunities. There are hundreds of acres of State Forest and Park right outside your door. The Willowdale neighborhood is composed of just one circular road with two entry points off Topsfield Road.
This style home was built to connect the indoors and out. Entry is through a tiled foyer and the main level has dramatic vaulted ceilings with warm wood panels. Both the living room and family room have raised brick wood burning fireplaces and a central chimney. There are three sets of sliders that lead out to the screened porch, two decks and yard. It’s a spacious 2,334 square foot home with four bedrooms and two full bathrooms that have tiled floors. Almost all the windows have just been replaced. Additional features include central air conditioning and an attached two car garage.
Willowdale State Park abuts Bradley Palmer State Park and the Ipswich River. Massachusetts Audubon Sanctuary is also nearby. This area of Topsfield is convenient to Hamilton, Ipswich and Route 1.
Turner Hill Golf Club is nearby as well, and what many people claim as their favorite the beautiful sandy beach, well known Crane Beach.
