Set amidst cottage gardens, this historic 1794 center chimney cape is restored, updated and waiting for folks who appreciate the character and setting for one of Hancocks original homes.Five acres of open, flat fields surround the house and barn offering seclusion and privacy and fabulous garden areas.Rarely seen in NH, wide plank construction enables the home to be extremely energy efficient. Plaster walls, hand planed paneling, wainscoting, wide pine floors, four Rumford fireplaces, and hand hewn beams reveal a warm, inviting home overflowing with ambiance. Characteristic living and dining rooms with fireplaces are more formal, while the country kitchen and keeping room with broad working fireplace, lend a more informal gathering area.So much lies within from sun porch, therapy spa and deck to heated garage; full two bedroom/one bath private entrance (legal)apartment to separate office space or additional living area with separate access; from the well thought out kitchen to the delightful master bedroom w/fireplace and full bath it is all right here.The barn is perfect for your horse(s) or other critters; ample field and pasture to support their grazing desires! And the trails you could ask for nothing better directly from the property, off you go to Canada, if you choose; beautifully maintained woodland trails that meander along Moose Brook.The list goes on. A classic home restored to retain its purpose and character, keeping in mind ease of maintenance for years to come.
