About this home
The iconic Preston-Foster House, a First Period home dating back as early as 1640, is proudly sited on an oversized lot along the banks of the Ipswich River. The house has been carefully restored, preserved, and continuously improved over the 60+ years children?s book illustrator Ed Emberley and his wife Barbara have been its stewards. The historic details of the home are fascinating, and the character of the home is undeniable ? it is clearly a place that inspired creativity. The house features period details such as heavy chamfered framing, massive summer beams, unpainted horizontal feather-edged paneling and a Beverly Ell alongside many later details including a two-story rear addition and a recent creation of a luxurious first-floor primary suite. The gardens have been professionally designed and maintained, the windows, cedar shake roof and systems have been replaced. Enjoy unobstructed river views, just moments from the Town Wharf, downtown, the MBTA and Crane Beach.
