A Look Into Home Markets In MA's Oldest Towns

MASSACHUSETTS — For people in Massachusetts, the month of November always carries a little additional significance.

Though the pilgrims first landed at Plymouth Rock in December of 1620, it's largely believed that the Thanksgiving holiday is modeled after a 1621 harvest feast shared by the pilgrims who landed in Plymouth and the native Wampanoag people.

During the month of November, Patch's real estate listing will feature a look into some of Massachusetts' oldest communities.

To start, this column includes a listing from Plymouth and Kingston. Plymouth was settled in 1620, serving as the first in the state. Kingston technically wasn't incorporated until 1726, but served as the north precinct of Plymouth from 1620 until then.

Here's a peek into the present day home markets there:

133 Elm St., Kingston, Mass.

This colonial in Kingston is situated on a quiet, private lot that's abutted by conservation land. That land provides a perfect backdrop for a "lush, level backyard with firepit and large patio area," according to a listing.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house is listed for $835,000. For more information, click here.

35 North St., Plymouth, Mass.

"The Taylor House, more recently operated as the Trask Museum, is an 1829 Greek Revival home on historic North St.," according to a listing for the property.

Listed for $1.4 million, the house is located within the Downtown/Harbor District, allowing for a variety of uses.

Currently set up as three units — the museum and two apartments — it features high ceilings, carved fireplace surrounds, delft tile, decorative plaster ceilings and mellow wood floors.

It needs restoration and is being sold as is, a listing said.
