Oh my, the fall colors are awesome on scenic Route 169. Take a quick drive to see this lovely antique Cape Cod situated on scenic route 169 in Canterbury. It sits on two park-like acres surrounded with the vintage stone walls. Imagine the cook-outs in the groomed acreage. The inviting circular drive allows ample off-street parking, in addition to the two car garage. The walk-up, decked attic in the garage is a plus.The owner advises the home was built in the 1780s, and the bathrooms and kitchen were added in the 1950s. The fireplace in the dining/keeping room still has the cranes to hold cooking pots, beside a beehive oven. The upper floor has newer thermal pane windows. The storm doors and garage doors are also newer. The thirty-year roof is less than 10 years old. New boiler and oil tank, and water heater in the basement. The owner has fond memories of sledding down gentle slopes to the rear of the property. The property was once owned by the renowned Baldwin family of Canterbury, associated with the history in the region. It is the birthplace of Dr. Helen Baldwin, a prominent local doctor, after whom the Middle School was named.
