22 Elm St

This is a small, single-story residential building dating to 1840 that reads as a converted historic structure with multi-room apartments. The property contains a mix of larger six-bedroom and three-bedroom units arranged in a low-rise, garden-style footprint. Exterior character is traditional New England: wood decking, an enclosed porch, rain gutters and shared gardens with direct access to the riverfront and common yard. Interior elements referenced in listings point to exposed brick, timber beams and fireplaces in some units, plus standard kitchens and living/dining spaces; many apartments are offered in largely original condition and sold as-is. Common exterior amenities emphasize outdoor life — private decks, lawn and garden space suitable for small-scale planting and kayak launching. Mechanical systems appear individually metered for each unit (separate utilities) with a combination of gas heat and hot-water tanks noted. Parking is informal and neighborhood-based rather than a structured garage. The location is centrally placed in downtown Ipswich within easy walking distance of the Choate Bridge, river walks, shops, restaurants and commuter rail access, and close to conservation lands and Crane Beach recreational resources. Pet policies and formal services are not listed; the building’s appeal rests on historic character and proximity to town amenities rather than modern condominium conveniences.
