Thomas Starbuck House
Originally built in 1761, the Thomas Starbuck house is a Quaker-style residence that was moved to its current location in 1790. It sits on beautiful tree lined Milk Street, just steps away from the Civil War Memorial at the intersection of Main Street. It boasts three ensuite bedrooms on the second floor plus a den with sleep sofa plus powder room downstairs. There are two grassy yard areas; one with a patio, rocking chairs, grill and fire pit. There is parking onsite for one vehicle. First Floor: The entry hall is spacious and features an L-shaped staircase. The comfortable front parlor boasts antique paneling surrounding a functional fireplace. The large dining room also has an impressive antique inglenook fireplace. A hall with an original blanket/gun closet connects to the den, originally the Starbuck family's birthing room, which has served as a downstairs bedroom with a working fireplace and powder room, as well as a Dutch door that opens onto a large, private patio. To the rear of the home, the modern eat-in kitchen is generously sized, featuring a center island with a breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. A rear staircase off the kitchen leads directly to the primary bedroom. A mudroom with laundry and great storage is at the back of the house. Second Floor: The front stairway ascends to a spacious second-floor landing, currently utilized as office space. The front bedroom features a fireplace and a private bath. The middle bedroom also includes a fireplace and a large bathroom with a tub/shower. The primary bedroom at the rear of the home has cathedral ceilings and a generous bath with double vanities, a free-standing tub, and a shower, as well as a stairway leading to the attic.
