LISTING DETAILS
Pristine and private antique colonial on idyllic nine-acre setting on Chebacco Lake. This First Period saltbox, built in 1684 by David Burnham of the Essex ship building family, has been lovingly restored and reborn as an elegant country retreat offering multiple options for living, income and recreation. The home's distinctive design'"diamond pane casement windows, massive central chimney, tall cedar shingle roof and cedar siding'"instantly transports you to a time when this nation was young, while the surrounding landscape and grounds, with carefully nurtured English gardens and lawns sweeping down to the lake and forest, are utterly enchanting.
HISTORY via Country Living
Known as the John Burnham House, the home has been charming New Englanders since its construction all the way back in 1684 by a shipbuilder whose skilled hands shaped and honed every beam and nail. Descendants of the builder lived there for more than three centuries to follow, which might explain why this home is so exceptionally well-preserved.
The 1684 John Burnham House contains one of the largest antique fireplaces which measures a staggering 9' 5" wide. The are a nine other fireplaces which blend seamlessly with the period decor.
Traces of the past can be found on the pastoral property, including ancient cranberry bogs, apple trees dating back several decades and historical stone walls. There's even an on-site writer's retreat, should you decide to quit your day job and make a new life for yourself.
