Set gracefully across from the rolling hills of historic Meredith Farm, this beautifully maintained 3,100-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 3-bath Dutch Gambrel offers an exceptional Topsfield setting on a quiet corner lot with mature plantings and picturesque grounds. When you arrive, the home’s rich wood accents, hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and inviting flow create a warm and welcoming sense of place.
