About This Home

As of October 2018

The Henry Fisher House is an exceptional circa 1787 antique Cape with historic significance. Located in the beautiful village, it has a yard that is remarkably large & private. Appearing deceptively small from the road, the home boasts 3,300 square feet of living space; 11 rooms; & 4 bedrooms. Each room is delightful, from the grand kitchen; stunning sunroom; library; LR; den; DR; & full bath on 1st flr; to the 2nd flr rooms, w/ their thoughtful & creative built-ins. During restoration, rare relics have been discovered including the stenciled hallway from the early 1800's & confirmed to be the work of Moses Easton, Jr.; & a pair of shoes hidden over the front entry, as was then the custom. For the past 37 years the current owners have lovingly restored this gem with a level of skill & craftsmanship that is second to none. All the new owners need to do is relax on the gorgeous stone patio, and enjoy a stroll to the weekend waterfront concerts & Farmer's Market. Only one mile to I-295.
