Overview

History isn't just remembered in Lebanon, it's part of the landscape. Built in 1850, this distinctive home has been standing for more than 175 years in a town whose roots reach deep into American history. Long before this home was built, Lebanon played such an important role in the fight for American independence that it became known as the "Heartbeat of the Revolution." French troops encamped here, and George Washington himself visited Lebanon in 1781.By the time this home was built in 1850, those extraordinary events were already part of Lebanon's story, and today, pieces of the home's own history remain. Inside and you'll find original wide-plank wood flooring, while exposed beams offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship and character of an earlier era. Rather than being frozen in time, however, the home has evolved through the generations. An addition off the kitchen provides an impressive living and gathering space with a soaring cathedral ceiling, creating an unexpected sense of openness in a home of this vintage. The kitchen features granite countertops, bringing modern convenience into a setting filled with historic character. 1 acre of land, provides the space and rural setting that feel right at home in Lebanon. This isn't a reproduction of an antique New England home. It's the real thing. Wide-plank floors, exposed beams and more than 175 years of history are part of its story-set within a community that has been helping write America's story for centuries. The home has evolved over the generations with newer windows and roof, smart thermostat and fire alarm system.
