Built 15 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed, this remarkable 1761 home (built by Captain Martin Reed, a Revolutionary War veteran) has the charm and history of an antique home, but the modern amenities of the 21st century. Extensively restored in 2005 with new windows, electrical, plumbing, basement slab, mortared foundation, timbers, reinforcements, and subfloor. Even the original chimney was rebuilt, and the stunning wide plank floors were refinished and reinstalled! New water heater (2022), newer Buderus boiler, Generac backup generator with automatic switch, and newly installed deep well (2020) all add to the comfort of this home. It is truly an incredible sight to see and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history! The beautifully updated kitchen with granite countertops, dual beverage coolers, island with copper bar sink, and custom cabinetry, features two entrances making it a stunning spot to overlook both the north and south sides of the property. One entrance being through an antique Dutch door, which opens onto a lovely brick patio shaded by magnificent mature maple trees. Continuing through the first floor, there are three large rooms each boasting their own working fireplace (one with a Hearthstone wood stove!) , custom crafted doors constructed from reclaimed local hardwoods, and a beautifully renewed full bath, inviting the opportunity for a guest room downstairs.
