This amazing property is not only an extraordinary residence but would lend itself equally as well to having an art gallery, boutique shop, or professional practice on the main level with living quarters above. Your dream of having a unique in-home business can begin here! The artful blend of 18th century warmth, character and appeal combined with modern amenities, systems and style make this a truly unique offering in perhaps all of NH. Once known as the Corner Store, it also served as the town’s post office. It was expertly restored in 2002 retaining its historic features while maximizing its livability within its large open rooms and quiet nooks. Large exposed beams, hand hewn plank walls, wide pine and brick flooring, Indian shutters, original wavy window glass, and three wonderful fireplaces provide timeless appeal not seen in today’s cookie cutter homes. A bright, upscale kitchen with stainless appliances and soapstone counter tops and an adjacent dining and sitting area with a cozy fireplace afford great entertaining space. The master suite provides a sumptuous respite at the end of the day as does a nice guest room. A main level great room with beamed ceiling, massive brick fireplace, brick floor with radiant heat, and office nook will surely be your favorite space. A large living room occupies the original storefront. If only these walls could talk! An adjacent first-floor bedroom suite would lend itself well to in-law quarters if that were desired!
