Exquisitely set on .44 flat, dry acres, a short stroll from picturesque Mill River, is this 3148 square foot colonial built in 1789 when Washington was president. The builder was Captain David Beers, who fought in the war and was owner of several ships that berthed in Southport Harbor. Still retaining many of its 18th century details, such as exposed beams, central chimney with multiple fireplaces, random width hardwood flooring, and finest hand tooled mill work, the present and previous stewards took the utmost care when making changes using the finest materials, craftsmanship and fashion of the times. Recent updates include open concept kitchen family room combination, with fireplace, central air, natural gas heat, large windows, finished attic, pantry, and ample storage. The entry, graced with handblown bullseye glass-windowed door, welcomes you into warm spaces with large windows that stream in light all day and all year. A stunning living room with a wall of bookcases and beautiful fireplace, is large enough to entertain holiday crowds. The sizable dining room with gorgeous fireplace, has warmed countless dinner conversations throughout the years. The study, also with a fireplace, is a perfect place for quiet while keeping an eye on the action in the beautiful large yard. The Sturges Park area is much sought after because of its lovely homes, easy proximity to downtown, restaurants, beaches, schools, parks, train and highways.
