While reading on-line this morning in the Fosters Daily Democrat newspaper, I learned that the oldest home in Maine, "The Bray House" is being auctioned this Saturday, March 24th at 11 AM.  This home was built in 1662 by shipwright John Bray of Plymouth, England and was owned by the Pepperrell family for over 200 years. 

This home, which is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located at 100 Pepperrell Rd in Kittery, ME.  It was originally built as a two-room home but it grew over its 345 years to become what it is today, a three floor mansion with 300 feet of ocean frontage. 

The first floor of this magnificent home has two kitchens, a pantry and laundry room, dining and formal living rooms both with fireplaces, a long parlor as well as family room.  On the the second floor you will find two master bedroom suites both with fireplaces plus two extra bedrooms, another bath and a second floor laundry room.

If your in the area, and your interested in bidding on the Bray House, please be sure to bring your certified or bank check for $50,000.  Bidding on this historic home is expected to exceed $1 million.
