Dating back to 1772, this is a true colonial era structure that was built shortly before the American Revolution. Some of its construction details such as the arched center-chimney base, door & window moldings, plaster walls, massive attic beams, and rustic barn details are original to the period, but through the years, various owners have made changes characteristic of later periods such as changing from a large center chimney to the two separate chimneys present today and adding a mahogany banister formal staircase. This property requires a dedicated owner who will invest the time and energy to recreate a home typical of the period with all the appropriate features and details. In our collection of photos, you will find both the current plan and a page illustrating a possible new plan that combines the spirit of an early colonial home with desirable large first floor spaces for living and entertaining. The home is located in desirable Sheepscot Village, a part of Newcastle, and features a long stretch of marsh water frontage on Dyer Stream. The front of the house faces due south and gets excellent light throughout the day. Off to the west, you'll have the setting sun reflecting off the river at high tide. The back meadow behind the house is truly magical. Two large apple trees dominate the undulating lawn with mature boundary trees surrounding the meadow. This property is unique in every respect!
