About this home
Beautiful C. 1720 home nestled on the Squamscott River and Mill Brook. Outstanding location for this lovingly restored home with a rich history including one time use as a tavern. This property offers four bedrooms and one full and two - 3/4 bathrooms and is currently set up for a second-floor guest apartment. The private dock allows easy access along the Squamscott River for kayaking and boating to Great Bay, the Atlantic Ocean or downtown Exeter. The panoramic views from all sides are outstanding. Bird enthusiasts and gardeners (lower garden is set up with permanent water supply and has irrigation) will delight in the wildlife, mature landscaping and planting areas on the property. The new oversized garage has a full, unfished second floor with amazing views and is connected to the main home by a large completely finished breezeway. The property has ample parking and is accessed by two separate driveways and parking areas for ease of use. Please note that the property does not require flood insurance.
