Welcome to the Austin Bearse House, a revered landmark gracing the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1689, this 335 year old home offers a blend of antiquity and incredible potential. This illustrious property includes the 4 bedroom main home and the commercial/residential zoned 2 bedroom half cape that once housed the Edelweiss Vintage Home Goods store. Live in one and work in the other or use the half cape as your charming guest house. The third structure is a 3 story barn with parking for two cars and plenty of room for your workshop. Inside, the main home exudes warmth and character with 5 fireplaces & wide pine floors. While the antique features have been lovingly preserved, deferred maintenance presents a canvas for your restoration dreams. Set on a secluded .68-acre lot, this estate is a sanctuary of heritage & charm. Embrace the sought-after location, a short walk to Centerville's cherished landmarks including the Four Seas Ice Cream, the 1856 Country Store & Craigville Beach! Although in need of extensive repairs this is more than a home; it's a piece of Centerville's storied past, waiting for your touch to bring it back to its full glory.
