Property Description

Commanding a distinctive Middleton setting, this iconic New England Saltbox rises above 1.88 acres of sweeping lawns framed by mature specimen trees and historic stone walls. Believed to date to circa 1680, this remarkable post-and-beam Colonial was relocated from Salisbury Square to its present hilltop setting in 1929. Carefully preserved over the decades, the home showcases exceptional period character and early New England craftsmanship. A picturesque shared drive passes an antique barn and classic stone bridge, creating a memorable approach to the property. Interior details include five fireplaces, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and thoughtful modern updates. A spacious country kitchen opens to sun-filled gathering spaces overlooking the grounds, while five bedrooms, a private office, and a dramatic primary suite with cathedral post-and-beam ceilings provide flexible living space. This distinctive Middleton property combines historic architectural character, expansive grounds, and modern comforts, with convenient access to major highways, Boston, and North Shore destinations. Buyers and buyers’ agents should perform their own due diligence regarding the property’s age, history, features, and any other information material to their purchase decision.
