This home was originally built by the Beers family in 1747, whose family ancestry can be traced back to the Mayflower. The property most recently has been owned for 4 generations by the Howat family of Newtown and has never been on the market before. The property is being sold with 5.07 acres, with an Agricultural Easement on 2.32 acres of the field. The house has been well maintained and offers several newer amenities, like a roof, forced hot air and AC a Thermo Pride heating system, updated electrical, gunite pool, workshop, and large 2 car barn - all well maintained. Many of the rooms include chestnut floors and the third floor attic features two stories, magical etchings dating back to the 1700's.
