An architectural landmark, the Captain William Fife House, often referred to locally as the Gingerbread House, is a historic 1846 Italianate-style residence built as the elegant home of a prominent community member. The property stands as a notable example of mid-19th-century residential architecture. This unique property includes 3,763 square feet of space with five bedrooms and three bathrooms and is set on a one-acre lot with a lovely and private back yard with gardens. Though it has undergone significant renovations and system updates, it preserves its historic charm. System updates include energy-efficient heating using natural gas and a wood boiler in series, mini-splits on the main floor for cooling and shoulder season heating. It also has a 5 kWh solar PV array and a solar hot water system, lowering energy costs even further. It also has an EV charging station. In addition to its five bedrooms -- three of which are in its unusual square tower, it features a lovely sitting room with stained glass windows, a comfy den, a large and beautiful eat-in kitchen, a large sunroom with a small hot tub, an electric range as well as a gas range with overhead vent and a large room on the third floor suitable for a large office, artist studio, rehearsal space or simply storage. The three car garage has a full second floor that can be used for storage and there is a second driveway on the other side of the house that can accommodate an additional vehicle. Located near Concord, it offers a lot of space and a bit of history for a good price!
