This historical home, the Clement Acton House, dates back to 1790 and it has not lost its charm or appeal. This house is spotless and beautiful. Picture yourself having a cocktail party with friends and relatives, and imagine what it must have been like back in the day. This magnificent piece of history has 4 bed, 2.5 bath. The front part of the house is original and the back section was later added to include a master suite with its own master bath. The backyard is perfect for gardening and supports plenty of off-street parking. There is a screened-in porch, which would be absolutely delightful during a warm July night. There is really no way to describe this piece of history; therefore, you must come see it yourself!
