Description

Sited on a beautiful near-acre lot is an unaltered example of 17th Century post and beam construction. Formerly knows as the “Danforth Webber Inn”, this Georgian New England Colonial -- which once served as a station on an early stagecoach route between Lowell and Boston -- has been structurally restored, updated with modern amenities, and is a fine example of Bedford’s early architecture. This unique home boasts five fireplaces and two wood stoves, dual staircases, plank-wood floors throughout,...Sited on a beautiful near-acre lot is an unaltered example of 17th Century post and beam construction.
