Charming antique cape circa 1740 is one of the oldest and historically significant homes in Pelham. It was built by Captain Thomas Dick, who also built the Pelham town hall, and by 1749 he had received a county license to sell liquor and used the house as a tavern. New roof(2021), new paint(2021), and new replacement windows (75% done) are just some of the highlights of this beautiful home. The house has 15 inch pine floorboards, 3 fireplaces (currently a woodstove is being used) and a sunroom with a second woodstove. Outside the property features 3.5 acres with a vegetable garden plot, perennial gardens, flowering trees, grape arbor and an inground pool.
