100 Acres in Northwood, NH - $1,500,000

In 1993 the 1820s farmhouse was completely gutted and brought into the 20th century with elegance inspired by our native woods and the architecture of the day along with a Victorian flair. It has continued to be maintained and updated with the best as recently as a few months ago.

Upon entering, youll see that the basic floor plan has been opened up and expanded to bring the beauty of the outdoors in. The first floor features a 640 s/f two-level living room, drenched in sunlight, with an European-style corner fireplace, French doors to a wonderful wrap-around porch, a large bay window for architectural interest and room for a Six Foot Grand piano. The inviting dining room is open and able to accommodate the largest gatherings. The kitchen is fabulous and, although in keeping with the farmhouse style, it has oodles of handsome cherry cabinets including a bank of pantry units. Appliances include new Viking wall oven, microwave, and 6 burner gas cook top, Miele dishwasher, and Sub-Zero fridge. Pull up a stool to the spacious island, designed for food prep and conversation with the cook. The kitchen was just updated and all surfaces are now capped in the most gorgeous granite weve ever seen! A home office area leads to a quiet four-season sunroom overlooking 300 blueberry bushes. Adjacent is tiled three-quarter bath.

Upstairs the original house was revamped to offer two bedrooms on the second floor and a large laundry room with lovely mountain and water views. Huge master suite includes a walk-in dressing room with mirrored closets, a spacious and restful sleeping room with corner fireplace and a private balcony accessed by French doors. Step out and take in magnificent mountain, water, orchard, wild life and woodlands sights. The elegant bath features a Victorian clawed soaking tub and oversized shower. All vanities in the house are antique style set with period style sinks. The third floor has a 22 bedroom and private tiled bath.

Off the kitchen and with a separate front entrance is an office suite or in-law space. It has a sitting or waiting room, office or bedroom and a charming tiled bath with shower. It can be expanded further into other heated space should you need the room without infringing on the main house. If you work from home, are a professional needing an area for clients or patients or have parents living with you, the set-up is ideal.

Theres more the lower level features a game or rec room with a steam sauna, access to the double bayed oversized garage. Overhead, find a carpeted 15 x 23 exercise room yoga or art studio perhaps?

A 25 x 45 Morton barn with full concrete foundation was erected at the entrance to the property and is home to the farm equipment presently. With 10 overhead doors, it can certainly be converted for animals if desired.

The land is glorious. Two ponds, one strictly for a wildlife habitat, the other with a sandy beach and stocked with bass, are enjoyed year round. In winter pond converts to ice skating ring with fireplace. Walk, mountain bike, horseback ride your private trails through about 80+ acres of managed woodlands on manicured trails. The open land is hayed and berries and fruit trees presently maintained by a neighboring caretaker who would love to stay on! The owners have practiced organic husbandry on the farm since they took ownership many years ago.
