This 1775 home on 2.51-acres in Salisbury’s historic district is surrounded by mature perennial gardens and privacy yet is situated in the heart of the village center.  Antique charm, care, and preservation of historic details are evident throughout the home’s sprawling 4 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath layout. Many wide board floors; five fireplaces – two with beehive ovens; 12-over-12 window panes; and original latches, knobs, and locks throughout are some of the details that add to the warmth and charm of this special property.  A first floor Master Wing with private Sitting area and entrance overlook the Boxwood Knot Garden.  An Eat-In Kitchen, Wet Bar, Laundry Room, Study, and Living Room complete the first floor.  An Upper Level with an addition Master Suite is complemented by two additional Bedrooms, joined by a Full Bath with soaking tub.

An attached Guest Apartment with private Entrance offers additional space with one Bedroom, a Full Kitchen with brick hearth surround for the woodstove, Laundry, and a spacious Living Room.

The detached Barn-style one-car Garage with Potting Shed and Studio space above adds to the possibilities.  A unique opportunity to own a piece of history –  a private in-town oasis with rich history and keen attention to the preservation of authentic details true to its 18th-century character.
