Inside, the residence retains its original character, with stunning hand-carved raised panel wainscoting and intricate trimwork, along with plank floors and ceilings that tell stories of centuries gone by. The formal dining room is a standout feature, boasting the original woodwork and a unique corner cabinet from the historic Riddle Farm. The stairway, thoughtfully upgraded in the late 1700s, now features Federal Style embellishments and a beautifully hand-carved railing and newel postdesign elements also found in the celebrated Henrys Grove, another cherished historic home just down the 611 corridor.
This homes connection to history is profound. It stands proudly on Sinepuxent Bay, where it endured a cannonball strike during the War of 1812a vivid reminder of the turbulent times it has weathered. For nearly 300 years, the Fassitt House has been home to the same family, an enduring legacy of tradition and preservation. A major renovation in 1950 ensured the homes survival, with care taken to maintain its historic integrity. The addition of a modern kitchen at the time has since become historic in its own right, seamlessly blending the old with the new.
The 50-acre property also houses two original outbuildingsa smokehouse and a corncribthat further enrich the homes legacy. The Fassitt House is not just a home; it is a living piece of history, and this is a rare and significant opportunity to own a piece of Worcester County's past.
