Built in 1680 by the Spencer family, Brownbread Place is steeped in local history. Tradition says that the name for the home comes from the fact that beans were cooked at the other Spencer house called "Lilac Cottage" and the brownbread was cooked here. The house was constructed around the great chimney and has seven flues, five fireplaces, and two large beehive ovens. This home features the original wide plank flooring throughout with exposed beams of Chestnut tree trunks. The barreled ceiling in the larger of the bedrooms was meant to give the effect of a ship's cabin. With many updates throughout, this home is cozy, sunlit, and chock full of character. All of this situated on a well forested acre of land with a modern studio detached from the main house equipped with heat and water. Come see a piece of American history with the chance to make it your own!
