Situated at 4 South Main Street in Ipswich, Massachusetts, the Shoreborne Wilson House is a remarkable example of early colonial architecture. Constructed between 1685 and 1692 by cooper Shoreborne Wilson, this -story wood-frame house features a classic four-room center chimney plan. In 1702, Captain Samuel Appleton acquired the property and likely added the southeast section. The house underwent a restoration in the 1920s, during which fireplaces and trim details were replaced. Recognizing its historical significance, the Shoreborne Wilson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Today, the Shoreborne Wilson House stands as a testament to Ipswich’s rich colonial heritage. Its location offers picturesque views of the Ipswich River and the historic Choate Bridge, one of the oldest surviving stone arch bridges in North America, built in 1764. The property’s proximity to downtown Ipswich provides easy access to local amenities, including shops, restaurants, and the MBTA commuter rail station. This unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience makes 4 South Main Street a distinguished and desirable location.
