This home is one of Winthrop's first homesteads. Built by Deacon Joseph Metcalf in 1792 during George Washington's administration. This home served as an inn for newcomers to Winthrop and later the first school. This four bedroom home has been painstakingly preserved to reflect its rich history. Large rooms with woodstoves, fireplaces and propane heat allow residents to blend traditional heating with modern conveniences. A propane stove warms the large living room on cold nights. The kitchen offers a classic wood cookstove, large pantry, and farmhouse feel. Formal sitting room was used for music. Back mudroom for laundry and wood storage. Outdoors features lovely perennial gardens, a small pond and a 2 car detached garage. This property sits on over 50 acres to explore. It's rare to find such a well preserved and intact homestead today. Here is your chance to own a piece of history. Offer deadline of Wednesday, May 28th at 12:00pm.
