35 County St

A turn-of-the-century, single-story Victorian converted into a small multiunit condominium in downtown Ipswich. Built circa 1900, the property retains period details such as high ceilings, hardwood and wide pine floors, crown moldings, built-in cabinetry, French doors and working fireplaces, while many units show incremental modern upgrades to kitchens, baths, heating systems and electrical. The six-unit structure presents a mix of one- and two-bedroom residences including sunrooms and a penthouse-like upper unit with strong natural light and river views. Common features emphasize traditional New England living: enclosed porches, exterior maintenance and landscaping managed by the association, rain gutters and window screens. Shared amenities are modest and practical — coin-op laundry, basement storage, off-street parking and resident permit access for nearby Crane Beach. The building’s location is a key asset: walkable to downtown shops, restaurants, the commuter rail, the Ipswich Riverwalk and boat ramp, with easy pedestrian access to beaches and community markets. Association policies allow pets with approval and the condo fee commonly covers heat, hot water, water, sewer, master insurance, exterior maintenance, snow removal and refuse.
