Beautifully sited on 6.5 lush acres abutting conservation land, this gorgeous 1790 4-bedroom colonial sits atop a hill with easy access to downtown Peterborough. Recent roof, paint & chimneys indicate the loving care given to this unique property over the years. A large open entry gives one a sense of interior flow and space - rare for such an old home. Though the house, with its three floors of living space, has original pine floors and post & beam construction throughout, the kitchen is new, with soapstone counters and Blue Star six-burner gas stove, and is open to bright dining area with impressive two-sided fireplace (other side faces the lovely living room) and french doors leading to breath-taking outdoor space. Indeed, the exterior living spaces rival those on the interior; There's a large cedar deck, hot tub with separate deck space (facing west for sunset views), pergola, weathered granite patio, and serene gardens that have been featured in New Hampshire Homes Magazine. The star of the exterior layout is 7-foot embedded stone wall, remnants from the granite foundation of original barn, with grove of towering white pines. Property also includes recently painted post & beam barn with finished office on the second floor, wired for cable, with cathedral ceiling, built in units, a 1/2 bath and a deck facing South Pack Monadnock. The grace and beauty of this property cannot be adequately conveyed in words; it must be seen to be experienced.
