Step back in time with this remarkable historic Colonial home, built in 1770 by Judge Benjamin Chadbourne, now available to the public for the first time. This well-preserved masterpiece, nestled on a partially fenced lot, exudes charm and history at every turn. The exterior welcomes you with a beautifully crafted driveway of brick, leading to a spacious barn with a 2-car garage, workshop, office (known as the store), gardening area, and ample loft storage--complete with electricity. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an array of living spaces perfect for both casual and formal gatherings. The kitchen, equipped with a Viking gas range, connects to an informal dining area with a cozy gas stove, leading to a formal dining room, making it ideal for hosting. The first floor also includes laundry facilities and two family rooms, each with the potential to bring back to life one of the home's five fireplaces. Throughout the house, you'll find intricate original details, including wood wainscoting, doors, and moldings that speak to the craftsmanship of the era. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a sitting area, and a full bathroom, with the original wide pine flooring that adds warmth and character. The walk-up attic, with its high ceilings, offers the potential for additional finished space. Modern comforts such as Central A/C for the upstairs rooms and an on-demand generator complement the home's historic charm. Outside, enjoy the beautifully landscaped gardens with raised beds, a side patio with a retractable awning, and the serene ambiance of a property that has been meticulously maintained for centuries. This home is not just a residence; it's a rare piece of history waiting for its next chapter. Showings start on Saturday, August 24 at the open house from 1:30pm to 3:00pm
