About this home
A Treasured Past with a Bright Future! For more than two centuries, this gracious residence has warmly embraced all who visited or had the privilege of calling it home. If the walls could talk, they would tell of Louisa May Alcott performing plays in the mid 1800’s, or the many guests who visited when it was Mrs. Wright’s Boarding House, or in the 1930’s when it was known as the Old Colony Inn and James Michener was a guest. This home’s gracious grand foyer is the welcoming focal point to the beautiful interior of warm wood floors, high ceilings & soft color pallets. The formal LIV Rm and complementary LIBRARY/PUB Rm surround the foyer and the house just flows from there to the gorgeous DIN Rm with exquisite chandelier, an office quietly tucked in the center, FAM Rm w/ its own entrance & ½ bath, and finally the magnificent KIT spanning the entire back, perfect for gathering in the sun-filled breakfast rm or the cozy embrace of the woodstove and brick hearth adjoining the cooking area of this gourmet kitchen. There’s even a brand new 31x36 first floor GYM w/ balcony. The sweeping front staircase rises to the 2nd floor grand hall leading to a screened porch spanning the front of the house. The primary BDRM SUITE includes his/her baths. Four more BDRMs, two with their own baths, occupy the second level. Another open stairway leads to the 3rd floor w/ 4 add’l BDRMS and 1¼ baths. There is space for everyone! The landscaped yard extends to a story-book Gazebo. Ideal Village location.

The historical significance of this magnificent home dates back to Louisa May Alcott, a resident in Walpole from 1855-1857. Louisa performed in many plays on the 3rd floor of 50 Elm St. Storylines from the classic novel “Little Women” can be traced back to the Alcott Family’s poignant time in Walpole. Majestically situated on a picturesque village Common, this 1800’s Federal style home retains all of its character and charm. A dramatic grand entry hall welcomes guests into the heart of this home, with a formal living room with original Indian shutters, fireplace and beautifully painted period mural sitting comfortably on one side, and the inviting front parlor with matching fireplace sitting on the other. Large dinner parties are a delight in the candlelit dining room w/ butler's pantry. The gourmet kitchent includes granite counters, gorgeous wood cabinetry, state of the art appliances, and a cozy sitting area with woodstove and brick hearth. An adjoining sunroom is the perfect setting for morning coffee with views to the brick courtyard. A comfortable den and an inner sanctum library tie it all together. The sweeping front staircase rises to the 2nd floor grand hall that opens to the screened porch that spans the front of the house. 5 BDRMS, 4 BTHS surround this spectacular center hall. Yet another open stairway takes you to the 3rd floor with 4 more BDRMS and 1 1/4 BTHS, all w/ high ceilings. * See fabulous 3D Unbranded Tour via highlighted URL 1 Link *
