549 Thorndike Pond Rd, Jaffrey, NH 03452

FIRST TIME OFFERED! In 1981 a well known Jaffrey native and his wife came back to town after a distinguished career in the Air Force. They wanted to build a new home that would make maximum use of the sun, had plenty of land, and access to Thorndike Pond. They hired well-known builder Hank Huber to construct this lovely 7 room “envelope house” on 12 +/- acres. As you enter the house from the south, you’ll find yourself in a two-story sun porch. Feel the warmth! There is access from here to the two upstairs bedrooms and also to the basement. When you come into the living room, your eyes will be drawn to the Vermont Castings “Resolute” woodstove with distinctive brick wall and hearth. Handsome oak floors complement the custom-built wooden cabinets in the unique sectional kitchen which features an authentic built-in Hoosier cupboard and two sinks. The sunny first floor master bedroom has its own bath and large walk-in closet. A den with built-in shelves, large dining area, and guest bath complete the first floor. Beautiful perennial gardens, fruit trees, attractive landscaping, and an oversized 2 car attached garage. There’s a second garage for storage, lawn implements or hobbies. Included in the sale is a waterfront lot (non buildable) right on the pond directly across from Mt. Monadnock, accessed by a shared gravel driveway not too far from the house. Thanks to the sun, the winter electric bills for this home average around $40 a month!Brand new 3 zone BBHW heating system too!
