Listing broker remarks

Hobbs Brook Farm, a spacious 1680 estate and oldest house in Lincoln, sits on nearly 10 acres of pasture & woodlands abutting Hobbs Brook, which feeds the Cambridge Reservoir. It has had only seven owners after being built by the Hoar Family. A mile from the path used by Paul Revere, the militia ate there after the first Revolutionary battle. Later the farm became a hub in the Underground Railway and was a speakeasy during Prohibition. Today it features period details, wide-board pine floors complimented by 21st century updates to heating and cooling, alarm system, electricity to basement and massive barn, renovated kitchen & baths. Multiple fireplaces and classic living spaces open to a rose garden & large great room, used as a studio and game room. One bedroom in-law apartment. An ideal Lincoln location, tucked safely off long private drive from a cul-de-sac neighborhood w/ direct access to Route 2 - an easy commute to points W/E to Cambridge/Boston or N/S on 95/128.— LandVest, Inc., Concord
