Property Description

Built in 1857 by master builder Joseph Kempt, this home was Bridgewater's first Presbyterian manse and later the residence of the town's first clerk. Its signature five-sided Scottish dormers, sweeping bay windows, and the towering linden tree out front make it instantly recognizable—but the magic goes well beyond the history. This isn't just a historic landmark—it's a living, breathing home that has evolved with time and recently caught the eye of Justin & Colin for an episode in their new HGTV show, Small Town Escapes, airing in 2026. With 2 thoughtful additions that blend seamlessly into the original structure, you get old-world craftsmanship, modern livability, flexibility, and opportunity, with 2 one-bedroom income units on the main floor—a chance to offset your mortgage or create the perfect setup for multigenerational living. Updates such as heat pumps, newer windows, and a wood stove bring comfort and increased efficiency. On the 2nd level, is a gorgeous 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath sprawling home with bright open living and dining spaces, 12 ft cathedral ceilings, post and beams, wood ceiling, and plenty of century character. The setting feels almost like a private park. River views, stonework-lined perennial gardens, mature trees, and a greenhouse create a backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. A paved driveway, attached garage with workshop space, and parking area make everyday life practical, while a separate two-story outbuilding with hardwood floors and a cozy wood stove opens up endless possibilities—a yoga haven, creative studio, meditation retreat, or the ultimate home office. A blend of history, income potential, and true tranquillity, right in the heart of Bridgewater.
