The circa 1825 J. A. MacArthur House is located within walking distance to the Village of Salisbury. The Appalachian Trial runs below the elevated backyard which contains mature maples and flowering ornamental crabapples framed by cedar fencing. The home is noted in the Connecticut Inventory of Historic Homes as "an excellent example of a Greek Revival home." It features original hardware, hand-planed wide board floors, original wavy glass windows, plaster walls, Victorian arches in the 30' foot long living room, and a 50 year red cedar roof added in 1987 over the original stringers. The kitchen was remodeled in 2007 with hand painted English tiles, AGA range, and a built-in Jenn-Air French Door refrigerator in the full pantry. Three bedrooms, two baths, den and sitting room, mudroom/laundry room with attic space above, side porch, and front porch to watch the world go by make this a perfect home for anyone attracted to the warmth and charm of yesterday in a village setting. There is also a restored 1850's two-car carriage house/garage with a full second story and a new roof of architectural shingles. Lovingly maintained this home is a "Forever Home" awaiting its next "Forever Owner".
