Opportunity awaits on a beautiful lot in a quiet Amesbury neighborhood, surrounded by tall, shady oak trees and just minutes from vibrant downtown! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers comfortable single-level living on the main floor, with three bedrooms, a full bath, and an easy, functional layout ready for a new owner’s ideas and updates.
