Steeped in history and timeless charm, this distinguished Colonial home, built circa 1830, offers a rare glimpse into the past while providing endless possibilities for modern living. A true treasure for history enthusiasts, the home proudly showcases original murals by the renowned artist Rufus Porter (1792–1884), whose work has been celebrated in museums and historic homes throughout New England. With five spacious bedrooms and large sunlit rooms, the home offers comfort and character. The newly renovated kitchen blends historic charm with modern convenience, featuring a functional antique cookstove and a cozy dining nook overlooking the mill pond and brook. From the large screened porch, take in picturesque views of Mt. Monadnock, a sight that has inspired generations. The second floor’s rear portion includes a sitting room, three bedrooms, a full bath, and a separate staircase—ideal for in-law quarters or Airbnb. A stately carriage house provides ample space for vehicles, hobbies, or a home-based business, while the expansive pasture and nearby open field offer an idyllic setting for equestrian pursuits. This is more than a home—it is a living piece of history, lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter. Showings to begin at Open House on Saturday 3/29 11 to 2 & Sunday 3/30 11 to 2
