Now is your chance to own a piece of history. This beautiful Bedford Center antique has only been owned by a handful of families (notably the Woodbury family - including Dr. Peter Woodbury). Situated on a large, level lot in the center of town, these homes just don't become available very often. Built in 1797 by Reverend Houston, this home is rich with history. It has 5 Bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 6 fireplaces (2 are currently working). Enter into the foyer that is flanked by large rooms on either side- could be sitting rooms or a home office. The dining room can fit a massive table and overlooks the back yard. The large family room is accentuated by an expansive fireplace. The kitchen has an exposed brick wall that adds to the charm and character of this home. The upstairs hall is extra wide and the second floor ceilings are tall. Beautiful wood details everywhere, almost all hardwood floors - you just can't match these details in modern homes. There is a 2 car attached garage with storage above. This home sits on 1.84 level acres. The yard is amazing - great for running and playing or entertaining. There is a barn that offers lots of possibilities for future use. There is even another outhouse - that was once an ice house used to store chunks of ice brought in from the Merrimack River. With a little polish, this gem could be something extra spectacular. Showings start Saturday, July 31.
