About This Home

As of December 2015

This Landmark summer home thats been here for 109 years was the first home built on Welch Island in 1906. It is for the discriminating, eclectic buyer. Handmade and preserved antique home built out on the point facing west. Theres over 300 feet of water frontage with long views on three sides. This home has a beautiful wraparound porch to sit and enjoy blazing sunsets and views to the Presidential Range. There are two sandy beaches with permanent docking for three boats. The interior has fine beadboard with a preserved patina throughout. This property is like owning an antique boat such as a Garwood with its original parts, like new, a real step back in time. This is not just another island property, its an irreplaceable, cant be duplicated historical island home, like acquiring a one of a kind piece of fine art. A diary of Welch Island from the time of this home with pictures and maps will be transferred to the buyer.
