About 24 Monroe St
Remember when a home was the place everyone ended up? Bikes in the driveway, friends wandering in through the garage, music playing from another room, and somebody asking what was for dinner? 24 Monroe Street has that feeling. It is built for real life, big memories, and just enough space to occasionally hide from the people you love. This 2005 Colonial offers 2,784 square feet, four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a layout that feels both open and traditional. The front porch is ready for morning coffee, Halloween candy duty, and highly qualified neighborhood observation. Wood floors and crown molding warm the first floor. The living room’s gas fireplace is made for chilly evenings, while the dining room can handle holiday dinners or Tuesday night takeout served on the good plates. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and opens to the family room, keeping the cook connected to the action. A first floor office offers a place to work, create, or close the door and pretend you cannot hear what is happening elsewhere. Upstairs, the main suite has a coffered ceiling, walk in closet, and private bath with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Three more bedrooms offer room for guests, hobbies, or whatever comes next. Second floor laundry means no hauling baskets up and down the stairs like a pioneer, an important advancement for society. The finished basement has a wet bar and room for movies, games, workouts, or watching the Patriots and Red Sox test your loyalty and cardiovascular health. Boston sports fans do not relax. We pace, shout helpful advice at the television, and swear we are done until the next game.Outside, the newly fenced backyard and shaded patio offer privacy, while deer and foxes occasionally visit the back hill to remind you they were here first. An attached two car garage, additional parking, transferable solar panels, and included appliances make life easier. The central air system is not currently operational, so the seller will provide a credit at closing toward replacement. The Training Field is right down Monroe Street. Downtown Amesbury’s restaurants, breweries, historic mills, and Riverwalk are a quick trip away. Cider Hill Farm is about five minutes from your front door, which sounds convenient until you realize how dangerously accessible cider donuts have become. Spacious without feeling cavernous and polished without feeling precious, 24 Monroe Street is ready for the moments that make a house feel like home.
