Carriage Lofts, built in 1900, is a former brick mill that was converted into condominiums in 2004. It consists of 46 units. The development includes five income restricted affordable dwellings for qualifying applicants with incomes at or below 80% of the area median income. All units have been built and sold. The development is in Amesbury’s historic Upper Millyard, a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and cafes, with excellent access to I-495 and I-95. The Amesbury Riverwalk, Amesbury's rail trail and bike path, is just 0.5 miles (about a 10-minute walk) from Carriage Lofts. This path connects the Lower Millyard in downtown Amesbury to Carriagetown Marketplace (Stop & Shop). The unit for sale is on the second floor of a three-story elevator building.

This studio unit was completely refurbished in the summer of 2025 and has not been lived in since the upgrades. It is approximately 715 square feet with one bathroom and one assigned off-street surface parking space. The whole unit has been freshly painted. The kitchen has a gas stove with an above range microwave, refrigerator with an ice maker, and a dishwasher. All appliances are steel front and were installed brand new in 2025. The kitchen also has white wood cabinets and Formica countertops both replaced in 2025. The unit features an open concept floor plan with a spacious living and dining area, two closets, an original exposed brick wall, timber ceiling beams, and industrial arched windows. The home has central air conditioning and electric forced hot air heating system. The furnace and air conditioning were both replaced in 2025. There is luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the living area, kitchen, and bathroom that was installed in 2025. This is an elevator building, with a community laundry room with washers and dryers. Pets are permitted at Carriage Lofts. The property is on public water and sewer. The monthly condominium association fee is $246 and annual property taxes are currently approximately $3,632. The unit is being sold “as is” which means all systems and appliances shall be in working order, but it may need cosmetic work.
