Step into a piece of history at Liberty Hill Farm -- the Benjamin Chadbourne home, built in the early-mid 1700s perched on a picturesque hill with expansive views of Liberty Street and the surrounding historic neighborhood. Set on 1.66 acres, the property features a substantial attached 2-story restored barn (24 x 52) with garage and a second level offering potential for expanded living space. Mature trees, shrubs and a majestic catalpa tree frame the private gardens, while a narrow branch of the Salmon Falls River borders the rear and adjoins neighborhood conservation land. Inside, eleven rooms blend period character with modern comforts: four bedrooms, 3½ baths, five fireplaces and a newly renovated bonus room. This warm and welcoming home maintains many of its original features. Original details -- hand-hewn beams, large cooking hearth fireplace, period mantels, wide plank floors and finely crafted stairs and handrails -- evoke an era of exceptional craftsmanship. A charming Airbnb suite, light and cozy with a wood-burning stove, private entry, sitting area and renovated bath, is already popular with visitors and offers further income potential. Take a short walk down Liberty Street to quiet, peaceful Counting House Park at the mouth of Salmon Falls, walk to the village of fine restaurants, close to Scottish Links golf, nearby public & private schools and easy access to major highways. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history. This home has it all: rich with literary interest, income producing potential and a flexible life style.
