The Col. John Barstow house, also known as Broad Oak Farm is set on 2.36 acres of level land at the intersection of the scenic road Broadway and Elm Street. An uncompromised antique built in 1640 with a 1797 addition, features 14 spacious rooms, 6 bedrooms, 7 fireplaces, 3 staircases, 4.5 baths, 2 laundry rooms, and a large workshop leading to a 2-car attached garage. A well know antique property restoration carpenter has worked on this property over the years to maintain the character and integrity of the house. The interior of the property has been newly refreshed and the pine floors have been carefully restored. Interior privacy pocket shutters, an early feature, are still presently used. The fine details in the fireplace mantles is unusual in this lovely home. Since leaving the Barstow shipping family the property has been owned by several families most notably Dr. L. Vernon Briggs the founder of the McLean Hospital.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
