Listing broker remarks

A piece of Halifax history, fully move-in ready. Built c.1791 on the original late-1600s Deacon David Bosworth farm, this center-chimney Cape once used by Halifax's original Postmaster - and today blends that historic soul with major peace-of-mind updates: a new roof, remodeled bathrooms, new water main and plumbing updates, recent foundation work, and fresh paint. Generous ceiling height on both floors creates a bright, open, airy feel throughout. The vaulted kitchen is the true heart of the home, with exposed beams and a custom-built window seat overlooking the private patio. The main level offers a dining room, a first-floor bedroom, a large living room with a fireplace, a full bath with laundry, and a flexible bonus room perfect for a home gym or office. Upstairs, two additional large bedrooms, a second full bath, and a comfortable sitting area round out the space. Truly a one-of-a-kind historic treasure!— Keller Williams Realty Colonial Partners
