Property Description
If These Walls Could Talk... ...they'd tell you a story 166 years in the making. Built in 1860, this home has had just three owners in over a century and a half - and the current ones have called it home for the last 42 years. That's not just longevity. That's love. These walls have plenty to say about the care that's gone into them, too. Somewhere along the way, the original plaster and lathe gave way to modern insulation and sheetrock - courtesy of the Youngs, who took the job seriously enough to work around the home's gorgeous original drapery door trim on the main level. The result: 21st-century comfort wrapped in 19th-century character. Nearly all of the windows have been updated for efficiency though one or two were left untouched on purpose - just enough old glass to remind you this house has history. The knob-and-tube wiring? Long gone. The light pouring through every window on a sunny day? Still very much here. The main level is where this home really gets to work for you: a den with sliders out to the garden, a kitchen dressed in cherry cabinets, a covered porch built for grilling season, a generously sized laundry room, a 3/4 bath, a formal dining room, a flexible bedroom or office, and a generously sized living room. Upstairs, three more bedrooms and a full bath await, along with two attic rooms just waiting for your imagination - walk-in closets, a home gym, or storage, the choice is yours. Step outside and the surprises keep coming. The extra-long detached barn/garage with workshop space, the classic car project you've been putting off, or both. The established gardens bloom from early spring clear through a glorious New England fall, and if you're patient, there's a particularly delicious bonus: an established asparagus bed that will be ready to harvest in 2027. Three owners. One hundred and sixty-some years. Countless sunny afternoons on that porch. The next chapter of 38 Prospect Street is just waiting for its next storyteller - could it be you?
