Located on the banks of the Parker River is the iconographic “pumpkin” house. Built in 1710, this historically significant home has spectacular views from most rooms. The views have been enhanced by recent tasteful updates. The first floor master has a wonderful early fireplace and wide pine floors. The family room with walls of glass is the perfect place to view the sunset. With the lower green, marina and old town hill right out your door it’s a very special home in a magical spot.
