Isaac Goodale House is a historic house at 153 Argilla Road in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The house was built ca. 1700 and has many First Period elements, including a prominent central chimney, steep pitched roof, unpainted clapboards and trim, chamfered beams, and board and batten doors. The windows are reproductions; according to architectural historian Anne Grady, "old leading and glass found in the cellar formed the model for the new leaded glass windows" as part of the 1929 restoration.[2]

According to tradition, Robert Goodale moved from Salem to what is now Peabody in 1669 and built the house for his son Isaac shortly thereafter. Stylistic features place the construction date closer to 1700 however. The 1986 report by architectural historian Anne Grady is available for download via the Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System.[3]

Originally located in Salem, Massachusetts, the house was moved to Ipswich by a Goodale family member in 1928. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is 3,421 square feet, with 5 fireplaces, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and is located on a 41 acre woodland property that borders salt marsh on one side and an apple orchard on another.[4] It was rented by the Peterson family from 1997 to 2007. Then, after 300 years of almost continuous family ownership, the property went up for sale with an asking price of $1.39 million. It was bought in 2010 by the Duffield family.[4][5]
