Absolutely charming! Built by Timothy Dowd Sr. in 1735 and loving restored and modernized by the current owners, this very special antique home in highly desirable Barberry Farms Beach Association is a rare offering. 1/2 acre of beautiful park-like grounds create the perfect setting for outdoor living with a screened gazebo surrounded by custom perennial gardens and a wonderful level yard which is fully fenced. This lovely home offers formal living and dining rooms with original wide-board floors, beamed ceilings and paneling and built-in cupboards. The renovated and expanded eat-in kitchen has stainless steel appliances, luminous granite and freshly refinished wide pine flooring. The family room addition has a wall of south-facing windows and sliders overlooking the back yard, built in bookcases, refinished pine floors, and a fireplace. A generous mud room/laundry room connects to the two-car garage, the yard, and access to a 4-season room over the garage with half bath (plumbed for a shower). There is a 4 bedroom septic system, so this could be used as an additional bedroom. There are three bedrooms and a large full bath on the second floor with possibilities for expansion to create a larger master suite. The heating and cooling systems have been recently updated and natural gas has been connected for heat, hot water, cooking, and a whole house generator. All on historic Liberty Street, just a short distance from Barberry Farms' beautiful private deeded sandy beach.
