Historical home enthusiasts will love this charming 1786 center chimney Colonial. Originally built by Physician and Astronomer Dr. Nathanael Low, this home has been remarkably preserved with features antique home lovers relish. Tasteful, modern updates have also been made, which add 21st century creature comforts. The home sits on a one acre in-town lot, just a short walk to all of the amenities offered in Downtown South Berwick including boutiques, restaurants, the library, community center as well as the local elementary school. Inside the home you will find a lovely entrance room complete with pantry space, a quaint window seat, and featuring wide pine floors. A few steps down, off of this room is the family room. It is the perfect place for anything from an informal living area to a home gym. French doors open to the brick patio, extending the living area. The wide pine floors continue into the granite and stainless kitchen, complete with gas chef's range. A sitting room off of the kitchen boasts the home's original hearth which includes a bread oven. From here, there is a full bath with large, modern soaking tub as well as access to both the formal living and dining rooms. The dining room has beautiful exposed beams, a fireplace and original Indian shutters. The living room is large, comfortable and also features a wood burning fireplace. Both front and back staircases access the second floor, where you will find another sitting room with fireplace, a full, tiled bathroom, laundry room, and 3 bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have wood burning fireplaces. The third floor boasts another bedroom as well as a second family/recreation room. The basement has been modernized, is well insulated and partially finished. It would make an outstanding theater room.
