Property Description
The Nettle House, circa 1818, is an extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence, impeccably preserved and thoughtfully updated to blend historic authenticity with today's comfort and style. Built by Waterford's first mayor, William Nettle, this landmark home spans approximately 2,700 sq. ft. and offers a truly one-of-a-kind living experience in the heart of Historic Waterford.
Details abound— striking Flemish-bond brickwork, original heart pine floors, Quaker-style fireplace surrounds, old-glass windows with deep reveals, and detailed millwork — each telling the story of two centuries of craftsmanship.
The main level features an open light-filled living and dining room, anchored by fireplaces at either end. A hidden china cabinet and wet bar add charm and function, while the kitchen — part of a well-integrated 1980s addition — offers quality wood cabinetry and direct access to one of two outdoor balconies.
Upstairs, the vaulted-ceiling primary bedroom boasts a new custom closet system with hidden washer/dryer, and a private balcony, perfect for morning meditations or a good book. A newly renovated large luxury bath (2025) and two additional bedrooms with roomy closets complete this level.
On the third level, a fourth bedroom is bright and welcoming. Masterfully designed to maximize space and style, guests appreciate the private bath and new Japanese-style soaking tub.
The inviting living space in the lower level is versatile and will impress with original parquet wood floors, fireplace, built-in bookshelves, full bath and a wall of cabinetry with a wet bar —adding fun and flair to this functional space. French doors open to the rear yard, overlooking the permanently protected Phillips Farm.
Gather, play, and entertain across the .24-acre lot, featuring a stone patio shaded by a mature mulberry tree, a chicken coop, and sheep grazing next door — an experience uniquely Waterford. A newly built parking court accommodates up to three vehicles.
This is more than a home — it's a rare chance to become a steward of a cherished historic treasure.
*The Waterford Fair is October 3 - 5. The roads in the village will be closed, but it is an easy 0.2 mile walk to the house from free parking area.*
