Welcome to the General Jonathan Moulton House. This 18th century home is a historic architectural masterpiece featuring a grand two-story entry hall, high ceilings with elaborate stepped moldings, pilasters and raised paneling throughout. Other highlights include 12 working fireplaces (some with Delft tile surrounds), interior window pocket shutters and 13 incorporated window seats. With more than 4,500 square feet of living space, the flow of the house is perfect for entertaining. The first floor consists of a formal parlor, music room, library, office and dining room which opens up into the eat-in kitchen outfitted with Viking, Wolf and Bosch appliances, and a sitting room (or first floor bedroom) with full bath. The front rooms are also connected by seemingly secret passageways with staircases to the second floor. Off of the library is a glassed-in dining area with vaulted ceiling that opens onto a bluestone terrace with a saltwater swimming pool and outdoor shower. The second floor has four grand bedrooms with fireplaces and a nicely appointed marble bath that connects to an upper wing with two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The modernized basement, seldom seen in 18th century homes, also has a wine cellar. The home has a detached four bay garage and sits on nearly three, irrigated park-like acres with an approved subdividable building lot with curb cut that could be utilized to provide a second driveway. All of this and only six minutes to the beach!
