Sure, you could buy a fancy new construction with a huge garage and space for a man-cave. Or you could own a piece of history and buy a house built in 1683.

The asking price for this modest two bedroom home in New Castle is a not so modest $1.15M. Features include a 180 degree view of the Piscataqua River, four brick fireplaces and a modern kitchen. Mostly, though, you're living in an antique.

I don't say that in a disparaging way-- this is why I'm happy I can still see a game at Fenway Park. The amenities are dwarfed, literally and figuratively, by every other ballpark I've been to. I accept that because I like the connection to the past Fenway offfers, that being in the same place a game was played a hundred years before.

Consider this home has a couple hundred years on Fenway and you can see the appeal. It was built 60 years before Thomas Jefferson was born, a hundred years before the Bill of Rights came to be, and before Isaac Newton contemplated apples and gravity.
