Built

1915

This charming Arts & Crafts cottage on 13+ acres was built in 1911 by J.D.Phillips (Salem merchant family) as chronicled in C.L.Bond's "The Houses of Topsfield". Extra-tall ceilings elevate the sense of space of the 8-room residence blending period details with an airy layout. At the heart of the cottage is an eat-in kitchen featuring large original built-in cabinets, rich butcher block countertops, and a classic farmer's sink. With 2 comfortable bedrooms, 1 full bath, and flexible living space, this home offers endless potential for a quiet country homestead with possible development opportunities. Abuts the Greenbelt's Donibristle Reservation (44-acre of wooded trails) with nearby amenities such as Masconomet Regional Schools, the Topsfield Fair, the Linear Common Rail Trail, Zumi’s Espresso, the Bagel Bin, the Essex Co-Op and newly opened Alfalfa Farm Cellars - craft brews & wines. A rare property of this scale, history, and character in Topsfield is a once-in-a-lifetime find!

Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 430 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 860 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 596,772 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
