Living in the past never looked so good. The historic Zaccheus Walker House has been lovingly preserved through 300 years of devoted stewardship. Rarely does a home remain in such remarkably authentic condition, this majestic colonial stands as a living history lesson right here in Merrimack. Step over the threshold and into the stories of generations past. The expansive kitchen, running the full width of the home, offers both charm and functionality, with an attached sunroom overlooking your beautiful acre-and-a-half property. It's easy to imagine a kettle simmering in the impressive period fireplace. Wide-plank floors and original woodwork create a tranquil, timeless atmosphere throughout. The incredible fireplace continues into the living room, perfect for cozy winter evenings curled up in your favorite chair in front of the woodstove. The wood-paneled dining room is ready for memorable gatherings, its rich tones adding warmth and character. A den and a convenient half bath complete the main floor. Up the front stairs, you'll find three bedrooms, with the two front rooms each featuring spectacular fireplaces. There is a bonus office space with built-ins, a full bathroom and access to the walk-up attic. The back staircase brings you conveniently back down to the kitchen.
