Description
Beloved sanctuary for the current owners for over 40 years and the previous family beginning in 1911, this remote property offers privacy yet quick access to all the recreational and cultural amenities of the Monadnock Region and is hardly more than one and a half hours from Boston. It abuts the 1120 acre Gap Mountain Reservation, owned by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Walk out your back door to climb Gap Mountain, Mount Monadnock or even hike the Metacomet trail into Massachusetts. The early Cape retains its original features, including "keeping room" hearth, one 20" board wide chestnut wainscoating in the first floor bedroom, original doors and hardware, wide plank pine floors, and original beams. Oriented to the South, the house overlooks a long meadow - perfect for wildlife watching, stargazing and firefly chasing! Second floor has vaulted ceilings and is ready to be finished as bedrooms. The fieldstone foundation has been pointed up and a cement floor poured. Screend porch has a view to the south across the meadow and to Gap Mountain. Storage shed.
