About this home
Amazing Benson Post and Beam home with VIEWS! Only two of it's kind in existence! Featured in Tedd Benson's book, The Timber-Frame Home in 1997. Originally built as a model for an affordable Bensonwood post and beam with a portion being a modular for the two bedroom wing on the first floor. The original home included a cathedral ceiling in the living room, with a wood stove and a beautiful brick chimney which adds warmth and character to the room. The master bedroom is on the second floor, with a loft for use as an office or sitting area, and to enjoy the views! In 2006 an addition was built by Crockett Homes for a larger first floor eat in kitchen and family room. Windows to appreciate the view, granite counters, wood floors abound, including Brazilian Koa wood! The home is sited on 4.2 acres with gorgeous views of Walpole and beyond! The whole lot is open with potential for agriculture. Currently used for bee hives and a hay field, with 80 fruit trees and 25 blueberry bushes. Relax on the wraparound covered porch, or the back deck overlooking the koi pond. The two car garage has storage above, with an attached workshop that is heated and has air filtration! There is an additional wood stove hookup in the basement, roof is four years old, and there are two functioning drilled wells. So much to appreciate and enjoy here, and you could own a unique property, nothing like it around!
