Step into history with the Deacon Robert Peckham House, located in the Westminster Village-Academy Hill Historic District, a short distance to the heart of the community, the village green, and a short walk to the town center.
Best known for his portraits of children, Peckham was a painter in the folk-art tradition and his pieces are now part of museum and private collections throughout the United States. A leader in the abolitionist movement, his home was once a stop on the Underground Railroad.
This unique home offers a cozy, livable blend of historic charm and modern convenience. It has been thoughtfully restored and lovingly maintained, featuring meticulously preserved 19th-century architectural elements, including a winding staircase, exposed beams, fireplace mantels, wainscoting, paneled doors, and moldings. A well-integrated addition seamlessly incorporates modern comforts, such as a two-car garage, mud room, first-floor laundry, and a brick patio surrounded by nature, creating a private entertaining space outside against a backdrop of lush perennials, mature bushes, and trees.
