The Captain Thomas Bliss House
120 Tower Hill Road, Brimfield

My wife and I had the recent pleasure to tour this home with Mr. Robert Paquet of HARDWICK/PETERSHAM PROPERTIES, who is representing the sellers. You can find more contact info for Bob on the home page of this site.  First - a note of truth-in-advertising:  Hardwick/Petersham is a new advertiser, but truth-be-told, I felt we had to see this house quickly, before it sold, because it is truly a period masterpiece.  We were literally stunned by, and immediately fell in love with this home and property.  You simply cannot find authentic revolutionary period homes in this perfect a condition.  I think we both walked out trying to figure out how we could arrange to purchase this property ...  Alas for us, our antique-home days are over as we are building an addition onto our current home as we speak. 

But if you happen to be in the market for a perfect condition, revolutionary-era property, you must see this home.

Anyway, after visiting this house, and the surrounding property, I felt compelled to share the experience with you.  First a little bit of background...  before my wife and I moved to Brimfield, we lived is a neighboring town in an authentic - and by that I mean "primitive" 1700's farmhouse.  Oh, the labor of love that went into that home over so many years... you cannot imagine the work it took to bring it up to a live-able restored standard. 

By contrast, The Captain Thomas Bliss House is, in a word - "perfect".  The current owners (who will continue to be your neighbors) have upgraded and maintained the home to the highest standards of comfort, beauty and authenticity, and the trees that line the property are among the very oldest in Brimfield.

The Thomas Bliss House is in move-in condition... a show home to be proud of that has every modern convenience (and more, but I'm leaving out some of the best parts for your own viewing of the property), and it is completely authentic to its 1700's roots in every way. There is also an authentic New England barn and a beautiful outbuilding included on the 6 acres (with more acreage available).

As if that were not enough, the home's lavish landscaping will be recognized by readers of certain home and garden magazines, as it has been prominently featured therein.  The grounds are gorgeously in bloom throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons with a myriad of annuals, and is complete with running streams, ponds and fountains. The main seasonal pond adds to the beauty and wildlife that abounds there, and in fact, because of the natural ambiance and beauty found there, the home has been host to more than a few weddings and receptions.

This is the first editorial comment we have ever made about one of our advertisers in the 11 year existence of Brimfieldshow.com, but if you are a fanatic about gorgeous, authentic period homes as we are, you will understand once you view this home.
