Spectacular Waterfront Estate From 1669 Is This Week’s Oldest Home

by

The oldest home to land on the market this week is a spectacular waterfront estate in New Hampshire. Built in 1669, the house sits just feet from the water and offers unobstructed views of Portsmouth Harbor and the Piscataqua River.

And thanks to its location, this residence from the 17th century won’t come cheap. Assessed at a value of $3.3 million, the seaside retreat is headed to the auction block in late October. We’re not sure how high the bidding will go for this coveted half-acre parcel on the water, but prospective buyers will have to shell out a $25,000 deposit just for the privilege to bid.

Other vintage beauties new to the market this week include a pastoral, 5-acre property in Massachusetts with a home built in 1721, an assortment of Cape Cods and Colonials, and even a Georgian-style home in New Jersey that has doubled in size since it was built in 1730.

Scroll on down to see all 10 of the week’s oldest homes.

Price: $3,300,100

Salamander Point: This breathtaking waterfront property offers marine views in every direction. Although the listing photos don’t show off the interior of the home, which was built in 1669, perhaps the location is enough to entice bidders to raise their virtual paddles. The three-bedroom home on a half-acre of land is going up for auction online, with the bidding set to conclude on Oct. 27.
