About 1097 Highway 376
Nestled in the rural community of Durham, this former Presbyterian church manse, built in 1846, offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive piece of local history. The home has been thoughtfully cared for over the years while benefiting from key modern updates. The residence features four bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. Improvements include a water softener system and new asphalt roof shingles in 2017, a new oil tank in 2020, a new well pump in 2022 and three ductless heat pumps added in September 2025. A pony panel for a generator adds peace of mind during power outages. One of the homes’ unique features is a separate entrance into what was once the minister’s office offering flexible space for a home office or studio. A standout feature of this property is an impressive 24’ x 28’ heated and wired garage with a cement slab floor and durable steel roof. Set just a short walk from the West River, a tidal river that winds through Durham, the property combines historic significance, rural tranquility and proximity to nature.
