Discover the beauty of this extraordinary antique home, set on an acre of landscaped grounds, with an enchanting guest cottage. Perfect for multi-generational living. The Bushnell-Dickinson House retains its original features inside and out. including original wide-board pine flooring, paneled walls, four fireplaces, two staircases, dentil molding, and classic 12-over-12 windows. It has been lovingly maintained for decades by a master craftsman and a devoted gardener, with a deep respect for historic properties. There is an adorable cottage, complete with a full kitchen and laundry. This offers wonderful flexibility: for visitors, an in-law suite, private studio, or Air B&B. This building is not included in the listing square footage or room count. An attractive barn/carriage house holds two cars plus a unique blacksmith workshop. The picturesque grounds feature several gardens for seasonal color, mature shade trees, and a fenced vegetable garden area. The custom-built garden shed with running water is a gardener's dream. Rarely does a home of this significance become available - offering the perfect balance of history, craftsmanship, natural beauty, and timeless New England charm in a coastal community. The location is also ideal, close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, Main street events, and the train station. It is almost equal distance to Boston and New York. Enjoy peaceful coastal living on your own private estate-like property.
