About this home

RIVER ACCESS – ANTIQUE MURALS – MODERN AMENITIES – CHARMING NEIGHBORHOOD Once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a historically significant home in the highly-sought-after Point Shore neighborhood. The circa 1809 Captain Abraham Colby house features rare 200-year-old murals painted by America’s most illustrious mural artist, Rufus Porter. But don’t be blinded by its gleaming wood floors, glimpses of the Merrimack, and historic charm: this open-concept home has all of the modern comforts including new central A/C, new gas fireplace, marble chef’s kitchen, and third-floor flex-space for your home office, guest suite, or family room. Ample storage throughout includes walk-in space above the 2-car garage. Take your kayak for a spin via deeded access to the Merrimack River right across the street, or try your hand at rowing (or building!) a dory just a few doors down at neighborhood gem, Lowell’s Boat Shop. Just minutes from downtown Newburyport.
