a rare offering in newburyport’s beloved south end, the historic margaret atwood house has stood proudly on this joppa corner since 1810. impeccably preserved & owned by the same family for 50+ years, this stately 3-unit residence offers 5br, 5 baths & 4,730 sq. ft. of living space (5,840 incl. finished lower level), with exceptional flexibility: live in one unit while generating rental income, retain as a multi-family, pursue the groundwork begun for condo conversion, or restore it as a grand single-family home with private extended-family quarters. set high above the city, an expansive rooftop deck shared by 2 units captures sweeping views over downtown, south church, newburyport harbor & plum island sound. updated with modern systems & ac throughout, yet rich in soaring ceilings & preserved period detail, this is history without compromise - and an increasingly rare opportunity to own a true 3+ unit property in the heart of newburyport.
