Step back in time with this historic 1827 mansion-style residence, originally built by renowned Nantucket Sea Captain William Swain. This three-story masterpiece has been thoughtfully and tastefully rehabilitated to preserve its rich historical, cultural, and architectural character while blending seamlessly with modern comfort.
The stately façade features two wrought iron balconies and a grand front entrance with matching double doors that open into an impressive foyer. Inside, the oversized family room, formal dining room, and large kitchen—complete with a breakfast area and island—set the stage for gatherings both intimate and grand. Graceful open staircases guide you through the home’s elegant layout.
Upstairs, the second floor hosts three expansive bedrooms, a large bath, and fireplaces that add warmth and charm to the sleeping quarters. The finished third story offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath, perfect for guests or extended family. A hidden gem awaits at the top: a staircase leading to the gently sloped roof, where priceless panoramic views of the neighborhood and downtown Auburn stretch before you.
Rich in history yet alive with possibility, this home is more than a residence—it’s a rare piece of Auburn’s legacy.
