Located at the four corners in historic Assonet Village, the Colonel Gilbert House built circa 1748 and one of the oldest residences in Freetown offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. While currently configured as a multi family, with both front and rear staircases and bedrooms and baths on each of the three floors, this house could very easily be re-established as a grand and spacious single family residence. The first floor has beautiful hard wood floors and detailed woodwork around the multiple original fireplaces. Updated flooring and crown moulding throughout, an enclosed patio that leads to a fenced in private garden area, attached two-car garage and close proximity to area amenities, highways and the new Freetown commuter rail station round out this lovely property. Also listed as a multi family (MLS: 73421949) as it is currently three living units and assessed/classified by the town as a multi family.
