If a big city firehouse is situated in the woods, would any firefighters want to live in it?
For a cool $599,000, a replica of an historic Boston fire station — complete with a fire pole — situated on 2.73 acres can be yours.
The 3,137-square-foot home in Thornton was built to replicate Boston Engine 21's original fire station that was built in 1869, according to Realtor.com. That station was replaced in 1926.
The home was built by late Boston Globe journalist John Cullen.
According to his 2018 obituary, "John was a 'Sparky' and Firefighter enthusiast. He built a full-size replica of Boston's Engine 21 firehouse on his property in NH with restored fire trucks and equipment."
The home features an open floor plan with two bedrooms, two baths, an expansive living room and an unfinished basement.
The property includes a 1,600-square-foot garage that was used to store Cullen's fire truck collection.
"This extremely unique property has so much to offer. This would be perfect for someone looking for clean, indoor storage for their RV, car collection, boats, snowmobiles, or just a home for your many toys," the listing reads. "You have to see this property to appreciate it! The opportunities are endless."
For the fire service enthusiasts who are interested, there is some bad news. The fire memorabilia in the home is being sold separately, according to Realtor.com.
