This fabulous Antique, circa 1640-1680, is set well back from Rte 6A on the corner of Commerce Rd, and was moved to this 1 acre site in 1951. Nestled among many old perennial gardens and huge trees, it is full of charm and intrigue. It includes 3 fireplaces (circa 1951) and the one in the keeping room has a very rare, iron fireback of General James Wolfe, dating back to 1752. Previous owner was a skilled cabinetmaker who enhanced the beautiful wood features of this Antique.
