Classic C1830s Noah’s Ark Cape on 10.4 acres with a swimming pond, perennial gardens and apples trees in Landgrove. In the late 1800s, the farmhouse was a thriving millinery business where Lucy Chadwick created bonnets or shade-hats in the South parlor for the fashionable ladies of New York and Boston. At her peak, she reportedly sold over 400 hats per season. In the late 1990s, the five bedroom farmhouse was totally renovated, which included the addition of modern amenities and a first floor primary bedroom with a fireplace and guest quarters above. The rooms are well proportioned showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to period detail, for example, the raised paneling surrounding the fireplace in the South parlor. A stone terrace overlooks the pond and extensive stonewalls were created by the master stonemason Dan Field. Views of Styles Peak and Bromley and easy access to hiking trails nearby. Located 2.9 miles from Hapgood Pond; within 5 miles of J. J. Hapgood General Store, the Weston Playhouse and the village of Londonderry; 7 miles from Bromley Mtn. ; and 16 miles from Manchester and Stratton. Showings begin on August 14.
