About This Home
The Bushnell-Dickinson House (c.1790), is an exceptional Georgian colonial that retains its architectural integrity with original features inside and out. The home showcases original wide-board pine flooring, paneled walls, dentil moldings, four fireplaces, two staircases, period doors with authentic hardware and classic 12-over-12 windows. It has been lovingly maintained for decades by a master craftsman and devoted gardener, with the property reflecting pride of ownership. The picturesque grounds feature mature gardens, several shade trees, a fenced garden area, and a charming hand-built garden shed with running water. Granite steps lead to the entries and there is a brick patio overlooking the grounds. Originally a barn, the guest cottage offers wonderful flexibility for visitors, as an in-law suite, or a private studio. The carriage house/barn holds 2 cars and the previous owner added a blacksmith shop. With its strong history and distinctive architecture, it was recently listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Rarely does a home of this significance become available - offering the perfect balance of history, craftsmanship, natural beauty, and timeless New England charm in a coastal community. The location is also ideal, close to Main St attractions, shopping, beaches, commuting, and the train station.
