If walls could talk, there would be 350 years worth of stories here. History lovers will enjoy discovering the connection to the Witch Trials and The Battle of Bunker Hill. This home comes with a history that's been researched by the current owner and is ready to be shared. Bring a ruler because some of the floor boards may just be "king's lumber" hitting the 24" wide measurement. Hidden under the snow are beautiful gardens and cobblestone lined vegetable garden plots, enjoyed by the owner and passersby alike. One of the best features of this home is the fireplaced living room with wide pine floors and a generous size room. Group showing available by appointment. Offer deadline set for Tuesday, March 18th at 4pm.
