Welcome to the home of Captain Joseph Bartlett (c. 1720). This historic home holds a special place in the town's heritage as the former residence of Mary Bartlett, wife to Josiah Bartlett, the second person to sign the Declaration of Independence. With its picturesque setting and meticulously maintained grounds, this residence exudes timeless elegance. The living spaces are bathed in natural light, creating an atmosphere of comfort and sophistication. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated, seamlessly blending contemporary amenities with the home's historic character. Luxurious appliances, custom cabinetry, and a center island create an ideal space for preparing gourmet meals while preserving the essence of the home's past. Just off the kitchen the root cellar has been converted to a one-of-a-kind wine cellar. Upstairs you'll find four spacious bedrooms, each offering a peaceful retreat. Beyond the interior, mature apple trees, a skating pond, colorful gardens, and a charming patio area offer endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, relaxation, and entertainment. The property's allure extends beyond its physical attributes, as the influence of the Bartlett family can still be felt throughout the property, making it a truly exceptional piece of local history. This residence offers a serene suburban lifestyle with convenient access to amenities, schools, and major roadways. Showings begin 5/20 at open house.
