About the Home

Nestled along Old Kings Highway, the Reed Roberts Homestead exudes timeless charm, with over three centuries of history. This home has been meticulously stewarded into the 21st century. Positioned on a corner lot, once home to an old red mill, the homestead is surrounded by towering up-lit sugar maples that outdate the home. The beautifully maintained home centers around a spacious family room seamlessly connected to a kitchen adorned with exposed beams and one of five fireplaces. Radiating from this focal point are a library/office, breakfast room, and a formal dining area with one of the fireplaces. The formal living room is south-facing and gets beautiful light at all times of the day. Along with the rest of the first floor, it boasts 9-foot ceilings. The upstairs reveals four bedrooms, while the third level houses an extra 330 square feet of versatile hobby room/playroom space, offering boundless possibilities for enjoyment. Tucked away in the barn is a hidden gem: the original outdoor kitchen has been transformed into a snug with wall-to-wall bookcases and a prohibition closet. Live the genteel, carefree life in this elegant former ship captain's house.
