Welcome to Bentley’s Real Estate home office edition. Many people may not have the luxury of working from home, but for those who do, or can’t go into the office, this blog entry is for you! We have selected our “Top 5” listings that include a home office (or with great potential). 2020 has brought a lot of changes for so many, so fast, and continues as of this writing. The real estate market is still hot, and currently set up for those who want to sell, with Bentley’s Agents having multiple buyers in-the-waiting due to low inventories. Without further adieu, here are our picks, in no particular order:

Our first home office listing is offered by Alissa Christie and is located at 4 Knights, Newbury MA:

“Luxury in the fields of Newbury! This custom-built home is magically nestled in a neighborhood you probably did not know existed! Less than a five-minute drive to downtown Newburyport and Plum Island, the setting allows the benefits of country-side living close to the beach. With attention to detail only found in a custom home: built-ins, coffered ceilings, dramatic bay windows, 11-foot ceilings and superb millwork. Designed for easy entertaining, the layout melds with the outside landscape. Enjoy casual summer meals in the gourmet kitchen with freshly grown vegetables from Tendercrop Farm, and then relax with dessert in the screened-in porch. Facilitate seamless holiday meals in the dining room, and work remotely from the home office. Upstairs, the romantic master suite flows into a large bath with separate vanities and large tub. Need more space? The walk-up 3rd floor was designed for expansion, and the lower level is finished too! This is your chance to escape the City!”

Next up on our list is 53 Spofford Street, Newburyport MA and is offered by Heather Rogers:
