View the Merrimac River from your kitchen while sipping your morning coffee in this beautiful, historic Merrimacport property. You can even bring your HORSE. Over sized 3 car garage with chimney. Nicely situated on approx. 2 acres, this outstanding home was originally built in 1755 by Captain Sawyer. Over the years, the home began to show its age. Thankfully, in the 1950s, shipbuilder Sam Walker, who worked at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, restored the property to showcase the original details and charm and enhance the spacious rooms. There is plenty of ceiling height in all the rooms. Magnificent center chimney supports three first-floor fireplaces. Established perennial gardens surround the home and property. ** Brand new 4 bedroom septic system ** plus ** Home Warranty offered to the Buyer at Sellers' expense**
