About This Home
As of November 2022Step back in time in this gorgeously renovated and restored antique home, with its combination of superior new construction and period charm. The original part of this Colonial was built in 1655 and it has been restored by those who understood the antique homes of New England. There are stained glass windows in the dining room, original moldings, exposed beams, historically accurate pumpkin pine floors, two updated bathrooms and four fireplaces including a large hearth and walk-in fireplace with a beehive oven in the cook's kitchen. Step outside and you'll discover a Boxwood maze, perennials, fruit trees, planter boxes and divided areas with lawn and plantings, including many unique plants and trees. You will adore these gardens that are like rooms themselves with private sitting areas and stone walls. Featured in numerous magazines, these gardens rival those found on the grounds of European castles. Come see this amazing blend of antiquity and current amenities in Newbury!
