Sturdily constructed in 1740 with 11 rooms creating a masterpiece of period charm. The original exposed beams, five fireplaces, wide walnut floorboards and lovely details enhance the historic allure. In addition to the 3400 square feet of main home restoration the original heavy timbers and wooden pegs that are visible in the 1500 square foot walk up attic appear unaged after nearly 300 years.

There are many unique features and each needs to be seen. Examples are the 12-foot-long stone that serves as a hearth for the original brick bee hive oven and the accurately custom designed oven.
