About this home
Benjamin Robinson Cottage, a unique historical residence in the heart of the Monadnock Region, is available for the first time in nearly 50 years. Quaint village setting. Outstanding views with a clear view of the mountain from the 4.3 acre property abutting conservation land. This home has a distinguished provenance: botanist, educator, opera singer, movie location, and dipomats. The rooms are graciously sized with plenty of options for family or home offices (supported by Comcast). Much of the original character remains. The library could be a bedroom with bath for guests or family. A large kitchen has a cleaver set up with updated SS range and dishwasher. The living room has coffered ceilings, FP (pellet stove) and is a quick step to the screened porch and deck with magnificent view of our mountain. Great flow and so beautiful in its purity. Upstairs has 5 rooms with closets (ie bedrooms) and 3 baths. A property this unique is rarely available in Jaffrey Center. (NOT within the Jaffrey Historic District rules). The home is truly a blank canvas to make your own. Have a desire to bring back the gardens? Check out the photos from the past and thank Benjamin Robinson for his brilliant design. Close to Boston and only 50 mins. to Boston-Manchester Airport in beautiful New Hampshire. Needs some TLC and vision for what it was and can be again. New septic being installed. It would be easy to live in the property while working property.
