Description
Some homes whisper their history. This one announces it. Built in 1912 by William Biddle, the industrialist who made Amesbury the Carriage Capital of the World, this mansion was his crowning achievement. Mahogany box beams soar above leaded glass bookcases and windows, fireplaces crackle with warmth, and a working dumbwaiter recalls an era of remarkable craftsmanship. Updated with a 50-year roof, dual Buderus boilers, and modernized plumbing and electrical throughout. Merrimack River views follow you room to room and from the rooftop deck to the Marina at Amesbury Point, just upriver, where Marker 34 serves waterfront dining nearby. A renovated chef's kitchen with a 10' island and double oven anchors modern life, while the butler's pantry remains as Mr. Biddle intended. 3-car garage, private backyard, one hour to Boston. Ideal for primary or multi-generational living and au pair suites. This is not just a home, it is a piece of American history, waiting for its next chapter.
