About this home

Step back in time to the early days of the Republic! Architecturally & historically important house designed in 1803 by renowned housewright & woodcarver, Samuel McIntire. Outside, finely detailed architraves, banding, & carved motifs provide an air of importance and set the stage for what lies within. Inside, Mcintire’s hand is everywhere, from the carved mantels, the overdoor swags & fine floral urns, the hand carved chair rails, and the reeded detail throughout. An elegant & manageable house with 3 principal rooms per floor, plus an 1850 ell, currently housing 2 studio apts. The last time this house was on the market was 1951, so this a rare opportunity for someone interested in owning an intact, museum-worthy home built by one of the most important Federal era craftsmen. Ideally situated in the McIntire Historic District on an unusually large lot, near the PEM, restaurants & the train station. Well documented in the Library of Congress plus numerous architectural books and pubs.
