Step back in time while embracing endless possibilities with this extraordinary and historically significant property at Haverhill Corner. Originally constructed in the late 1700s by Colonel Charles Johnston, an original founder of Haverhill, this remarkable residence is recognized as the first framed home in the village and played a vital role during the American Revolution as a fortified block house, offering both shelter and defense in the nation’s earliest days. Held within the Johnston family for over a century, the property passed through generations before continuing its legacy of service and care into the modern era. Known more recently as On the Green, the property has long provided refuge and purpose, including its most recent use as a group home for elderly residents and those in need of assisted living. The home has also been historically documented as part of the Underground Railroad, further adding to its rich and meaningful past. This expansive 8 bedroom, 4 bath home retains an abundance of original charm and character, including exposed beams, a classic central chimney, multiple hearths, a Defiant wood stove, and a pellet stove. The versatile layout offers a potential library, office, sitting room, and a great room with cathedral ceiling, ideal for gathering or reimagining the space. Several updates have been completed over time, including vinyl windows, updated electrical and plumbing throughout, and a newer boiler less than 12 years old. The roof is approximately 12 years old, and the septic system installed roughly 15 years ago, with the property also benefiting from town water. Updated appliances, an oversized commercial-grade refrigerator, and a fire alarm system throughout support continued commercial use or conversion back to a grand single-family home. An additional in-law suite above provides flexibility for extended living or income potential. A rare legacy property where history, character, and opportunity come together. Agent Interest
