Circa 1921 - original home to sea captain W.H. Machen. This newly renovated and restored Victorian, 3 story home is part of the Village of Mobjack, a quaint village where previous life focused on fishing and crabbing. Nominated for historic significance based on its contribution to commerce and unique collections of homes located on the East River and Mobjack Bay. (fairfieldfoundation.org). The home is located on 2.6 acres with water front on the East River including a private dock giving water access to boating, kayaking, fishing and swimming along with an adjacent marina for those with larger boats (compassmarina.com).
