http://www.DoloresPerson.com - "We did not move in until the spring of 2007 after completing significant renovations and restoration. The total cost of renovation/restoration was approximately $500,000. Throughout the house, hardwood floors were uncovered (years of paint/ carpeting) to reveal wide-plank pine throughout the home. Where we needed to put in new floors, we purchased old floors from another High Street homeowner and from an architectural salvage company. All floors are currently original wide-plank pine with the exception of the third floor bath (which is tile); one of the second floor bath (tile) and the kitchen (new wide oak planks). All rooms were repainted and re-plastered where necessary. The third floor was gutted down to the beams and new walls, ceilings, insulation, etc. were put in. The kitchen was completely gutted and renovated; a magnificent iibrary was created with mahogany paneiing and built-in book shelves. A new bathroom was created on the first floor. The master bedroom closets were finished with custom shelving. The master bedroom bath as Weil as the third floor bath `it/ere renovated. Care was taken to preserve historical features. The basement was so it was easy to stand in: a new concrete floor with radiant heat was put in along with a wine cellar. Though not finished (except for the wine cellar), the basement ls a comfortable area for storage, laundry, working out, or playing A new gas,high velocity heating and air conditioning system was implemented. There are three separate zones within the house. A new hot water heater was added. Most of the electrical throughout the house was rewired. New chandeliers and Sconces were added throughout the home.
Part of the property includes a legal, charming carriage house rental with one bedroom, a living/ dining area, a bath and a kitchen. It has a beautiful! screened in porch that can be used as an additional room in the nice weather. We put in a washer/dryer hook-up and a new hot water heater. The kitchen was renovated with butcher block counter tops, a new stove, and tiled walls. The bathroom received a new toilet, sink and was retiled. All floors in the carriage house were refinished; the Walls were repainted. A built-in bookshelf was created.
As part of our renovations, a third floor room that was used only for storage (no heat or A/C) was transformed to a bedroom. In addition, a 3-season porch was made, essentially into an all-season room (heating and A/C added). A beautiful brick patio was built and creates a wonderful spot for entertaining in the back of the home.
The house is perfectly located on High Street, Newburyport's signature roadway. You are close to downtown, yet have one acre of land. Because of the large backyard, it is easy to have pets and there are many different varieties of birds for bird watchers. There is a charming legal rental unit on the property which can be used as a guest quarters or to provide rental income. We currently rent it for $1300 per month.

http://www.SandpiperRealty.com - This distinguished center hall colonial in Edgartown’s Historic District was built c. 1785 and has been in the same family for five generations; the property is now on the market for the first time in 175 years.
The house has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places for many years and is one of the very few larger colonial house that have come down through the years in substantially original condition, but now with all modern systems and fully equipped for comfortable year-round living and entertaining.
The home’s gracious lines and proportions are presented to the street behind a screen of fencing and hedge across a rolling front lawn. Original wood flooring, doors and period hardware have all been preserved. Nine of the original ten fireplaces remain operational and most of the windows are original.
At the front of the house you’ll find the more formal spaces, specifically the elegant living room and spacious dining room. The living room is surrounded with wood paneling dating back to the 1840s and the focal point is the fireplace with an intricately carved mantel. The dining room, accessed off the center hall and from the kitchen through a small butler’s pantry, is a lovely room also dressed with wood paneling and fireplace.
Across the back of the house is the library with French doors leading to the patio, garden and pool – a wonderful and inviting family living space. In a small wing behind the library there is a bedroom with a fireplace and a full bathroom.
Beyond the library is the renovated kitchen and breakfast area overlooking the pool through a bank of windows and back door. This light and airy room has modern appliances, ample cabinetry, and an island with additional seating space. The tile floor is perfect for casual summer living and continues through a recent addition to a half bath/laundry area and two-car garage.
On the second floor there are four bedrooms, all with fireplaces. The two front bedrooms are spacious in size and have ensuite baths. The remaining two bedrooms are smaller in scale but one offers a private deck overlooking the grounds. These rooms can either share baths with the two masters, jack and jill style or can utilize the hall bath.
At the back of the house there is a cozy study with built-in bookshelves and seating below windows that overlook the back garden.
The large lot provides the property with space for a 10’ x 40’ lap pool, bluestone patio, cabana, and manicured lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A wooden fence and tall shrubs surrounding the property assure privacy.
The attached garage is extra deep to provide space for 2 cars and the driveway offers more space for parking, a true benefit for those residing in-town.
This historic house is in the heart of the Village within a short walk to shopping, restaurants, the Town Hall Theater and the Woodstock Inn with its new state of the art Spa and golf course just a few minutes away. The house was built in the early 1830’s and in 2009 was carefully and completely restored by the current owner/builder providing modern amenities while retaining the authenticity of the original home.
The grounds are simply landscaped with low maintenance in mind, achieving lovely colors throughout the seasons - and privacy where needed. The walkway leading up to the front door has been relaid with the original bricks.
The Carriage House was moved to its present location to accommodate 4 contemporary garages in the main house. The interior is in its original condition. The walls are bead board which have a lovely patina. There are two additional garage bays below the two story carriage house. This building is ideal for guest accommodations as well as party barn!
All exterior walls have been built with stones salvaged from the restoration.
The front patio off the mudroom is very private and quite--a perfect, sunny spot for an early morning cup of coffee along with the newspaper.
The front door leads into the original section of the house. Bannister and railings are original and have been restored. The hemlock floors are original. The owners have salvaged, restored and reused the two mantels, doors, hardware and trim where appropriate. New moldings and chair rails have been added to enhance the character of the living room and hallways. There is a state of the art audio/visual system throughout. An inherent charm of this house is the way the light moves from morning to afternoon.
The owners chose an open floor plan for the kitchen and dining room as they enjoy entertaining informally. Most dinners are served buffet style which is enhanced by the warming drawer. Flooring in this area is Jerusalem Gold limestone and the green granite is Costa Smeralda from the Middle East. The kitchen appliances are state of the art and would please a range of cooking skills. The wet bar includes an ice maker, fridge and wine cooler along with a copper sink. The heat is radiant as it is throughout the home.
The covered porch was rebuilt and placed to provide sun and privacy. The bricks are old although not from the original house. This is an ideal place for lunch as well as an evening cocktail while listening to
the Kedron Brook run by.
In the mudroom there is a walk in pantry with an extra refrigerator, sink and dish washer. There is also access to the elevator which is wired and can be readied to service three levels. The two upper heated garages are also off the mudroom

The second floor guest bedroom is spacious with a private bathroom. The door to the bathroom is an original door with beautiful etched glass and hardware
There are two additional bedrooms on the third floor. The half eyebrow windows in the front bedroom add to the charm of this guest room. Each bedroom has a window seat to perhaps curl up and read on a snowy day. They share a bathroom which has whimsical fish tiles in the spacious shower.
The master suite is located on the second floor. During the winter months there is a view of the Congregational Church steeple and above that the Mt. Tom star at Christmas time and the cross during Easter. The hallway to the back stairs accommodates the spacious master bath with a large walk in shower and deep soaking tub, two large walk in closets, a laundry room with a linen closet and an office. Just before reaching the stairs is the elevator.
The back stairs lead down to the mudroom where access to the lower floor is located.
On the lower floor the owners are in the process of finishing what can be a simple playroom or a state of the art Home Theater with the addition of a few amenities. There is a wet bar and a powder room along with access to the elevator. The remaining two heated garages are on this level.
