About this home

If these walls could talk! Built in 1792, this charming Canterbury Cape has more than 230 years of stories to tell - and plenty of room for new ones. Set on approximately 1.6 acres in the picturesque town of Canterbury, just a short distance from historic Canterbury Shaker Village, the home offers three bedrooms, two 3/4 bathrooms (one per floor!), and approximately 1,640 square feet of living space. A woodstove brings warmth to the open kitchen, dining, and living area, while a separate family room (or home office!) and sunroom offer additional spaces to spread out, relax, or enjoy the changing seasons. Step outside onto the deck and enjoy the lovely country setting, with room to put your green thumb to work with established planting areas, blueberry and blackberry bushes, and maple trees. A shed provides space for tools and outdoor equipment. And while the home celebrates its history, it also embraces the present with an expanded, owned solar panel system, a heat pump, and a high-efficiency hybrid water heater installed in 2025. With its blend of historic character, country charm, and opportunities to make improvements over time, this well-loved home is ready for someone with an appreciation for older houses and a vision for its next chapter. Bring your ideas and discover the possibilities at 552 Shaker Road!
