Property Description

On a tract of land called "Sechenayaug," Revolutionary and French & Indian War veteran William Chamberlain built this 18th century colonial. Meticulously restored and buffered by rear conservation land, this home offers four floors of living space with modern utilities. Exceptional wood and stonework-unaffordable in new construction-define the home. Every room features wide board floors, exposed beams, and plaster walls. Seven functional fireplaces (two with beehive ovens) grace the kitchen, dining room, great room, two parlors, second floor sitting room, and primary bedroom. Period beaded and feather edge paneling, hardware, and lighting fixtures complement each space. Entertainers love the expansive great room, parlors, and full wet bar, while guests consistently marvel at the unforgettable experience the moment they step inside. Updates include 200 amp service, central air with forced hot air heat, modern insulation, cable, security system, and a well sized kitchen. The primary and common baths feature tiled walk in showers and bidets; the first floor guest bath offers a ball and claw foot tub. The basement boasts seven foot ceilings, concrete floors, restored stone walls, and massive parged chimneys admired by masons. A tile and stone wine tasting cellar opens to an expansive brick patio wrapped in stone walls-an inviting, historic home rich in character and conversation.
