212 High Street

Exquisite. Sophisticated. Rare. 212 High Street is more than a home—it’s a landmark. Nestled along one of Newburyport’s most iconic and admired stretches, this Second Empire Victorian has long captured the attention of passersby. It's that house—the one people slow down to admire, the one that lingers in your imagination. Now, fully reimagined for modern luxury living, it offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true showpiece in the heart of Newburyport. Thoughtfully and meticulously redesigned, this residence combines the elegance of 19th-century architecture with the comforts and aesthetics of contemporary design. Soaring ceilings, grand windows, and striking proportions create a sense of drama and grace from the moment you enter. Every detail has been curated with a discerning eye—from the rich millwork and designer lighting to the state-of-the-art geothermal heating system and luxury finishes throughout. The heart of the home is an entertainer’s dream. Expansive living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring dual islands, premium appliances, and an adjoining summer kitchen complete with a pizza oven. Outside, you'll discover a beautifully landscaped retreat, featured in North Shore Magazine, with a saltwater plunge pool, outdoor shower, and multiple spaces for entertaining. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms offer serene escapes, while the third floor provides additional flexibility for a home office, studio, or guest suite. The carriage house invites creativity—perfect for a garage, workshop or gym. 212 High Street is not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to embrace. Located just moments from downtown Newburyport, the waterfront, boutique shopping, fine dining, and commuter access to Boston, this home is as convenient as it is captivating. This is more than a property—it’s a legacy.
