Step into timeless elegance at the Vose Whiting Homestead — a distinguished Colonial built in 1796, gracefully set on 1.43 acres of manicured gardens and open meadow. This stately residence features four bedrooms, three full baths, five fireplaces, and a classic center chimney, offering warmth and character throughout.Lovingly restored and thoughtfully modernized by its current owners since 2008, the home seamlessly blends 18th-century craftsmanship with 21st-century convenience. Updates include central air conditioning and a discreet solar panel system tucked behind the garage — all subtly integrated to preserve the home's historic integrity.In 2009, a substantial two-story addition was added to the rear of the home, expanding the living space while maintaining architectural harmony. The result is a spacious, light-filled retreat perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining.
