Living History: Home For Sale Built Before Independence Day

From centuries-old Colonials to quintessential Capes, Boston’s North Shore is known for its old and historic stunners. As part of Sotheby’s International Realty®, we consider ourselves fortunate to practice real estate in a part of the country where we are surrounded by so much history. In our hometown of Marblehead, Massachusetts, over 200 homes were constructed before the American Revolution.

In anticipation of the Fourth of July, we wanted to showcase our impressive listing at 9 Merritt Street which was built before our country’s own founding.

Stepping into this 250-year-old former bakery is like going back in time. The house still boasts details from its early years as evidenced by its original fieldstone foundation, some brick walls and floors, main fireplace and beehive oven. 9 Merritt Street has been featured in countless publications and was recently seen in Boston Magazine. You can learn all about its interesting past here. To view the full listing sheet click here.

Please contact us if you’d like to schedule a tour of this home or any others on the North Shore. We would be happy to accommodate a private showing in between July 4th festivities.
