An early unspoiled historic gambrel with exceptional original features: 5 fireplaces, 2 beehive ovens, hand-planed raised panel walls, doors, wainscoting, cupboards, featherboard walls, wide pine floors, and iron hardware. Eight room home has both front and rear staircases, a 32' keepingroom, a "borning" room used, a formal parlor, and diningroom on the first floor; second floor has three bedrooms with laundry room upstairs. Great attention to period lighting and appropriate colors.
The exterior features restored clapboard siding, nine over six windows, and a cedar shake roof. Located on a lovely one acre lot with a large private back yard within walking distance of scenic quintessential New England town common.
The Guild-Kollock House, built in 1714, has significant local historic importance and is listed on the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) website. This home was featured in the April 2006 issue of Early American Life magazine.
