About This Home

As of November 2021

Dotted amongst the numerous stately homes along Main Street, there is one home that stands out for its architectual uniqueness - Henry S. Swasey's home. This Federal style home has been built and expanded upon over the years to accomodate the unique angle of Dwight Street, which runs along the west side of the home at an angle. Currently, the home is functioning as a duplex, but could be converted back into a single-family home depending on your needs. Each side of the home is divided into 6 rooms featuring a kitchen, formal dining room and front parlor on each side. Along with 2-3 bedrooms and 2-1.5 bathrooms on each side. In 2005, the current owner went to task to restore the original barn! The barn was raised and put on a cement slab, along with installing new roof shingles and new windows. Finally, the orientation of the barn was changed and is now a 3-car garage with plenty of workshop space and even the ''3 holer'' was saved and the orginial wallpaper (newspapers)! Historic Thomaston maintains its wonderful coastal charm of years gone-by, while still offering wonderful shops, cafes, restaurants, library, town landing/public boat launch and a small family-owned grocery store. Even the new Thomaston Dog Park is located at the end of your street (Dwight Street) which is a dead end and great for evening walks. Schedule a showing today to see the what this historic gem has to offer!
