1047 Main Street

Located in a highly walkable section of Main Street, this remarkable property-known as the John Newberry House, built in 1697-offers a rare opportunity to restore a truly historic gem. Crafted by English settler Benjamin Parker and cherished as a family home for more than 300 years, this classic saltbox colonial stands as a testament to early Colonial architecture and heritage. A substantial rear addition and several outbuildings expand the possibilities for future use, but the home's condition requires immediate and comprehensive restoration. It has been unoccupied and for many years, and significant work is needed, including addressing open structural roof issues and areas of water intrusion. For those with vision, passion, and a willingness to take on a meaningful project, this is a chance to revive an extraordinary antique home and preserve an irreplaceable piece of history. Bring your ambition-and help save this remarkable property for generations to come.
