In 1893, the home was moved by oxen across Exeter’s “Great Bridge” to its current 65 High Street location. The 6 bedroom Federal home embodies many grand architectural features that have been carefully preserved. The original expansive front door is ornamented with a doric style portico and leads to a grand foyer facing the main winding staircase. A formal living room and a library, both feature original fireplaces with elegant hand-carved mantels. The living room fireplace is flanked by 2 westerly facing windows styled within recessed archways. A designer eat-in kitchen has custom cabinets, soap stone countertops and high-end appliances. French doors lead to a 3 season porch and a westerly screened-in porch wrapping around the formal dining room. 2d and 3d floors carry 6 bedrooms. The master is expansive with 2 walk-in closets on either side of the fireplace. One guest room has a cedar closet that leads to a “sleeping porch” and connects to the other guest room. Located on a quiet street with direct access to the PEA athletic fields and trails. History, charm and character have been preserved in this rare Exeter Property.
