Looking for the perfect blend of period specific charm and modern comfort? Well look no further than Five Sonata Court. With its distinctive character and numerously preserved features, this home will invite you in a manner all its own. Originally built in 1831 by Franklin McDuffee - author of The History of Rochester (which he penned in this home’s very own and still preserved library room) this remarkable property holds nearly two centuries of history within its walls. Thoughtful updates over the years have brought the property into the 21st century, all while maintaining and preserving the delightful craftsmanship of its era. Historic features such as wide board hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, ornate woodwork details, etc. all juxtapose seamlessly with modern updates and convenient additions. Outside, the property offers a fully fenced backyard complete with a wooden deck and stone patio, and a covered side porch that will effortlessly draw you into the home. The kitchen is designed with gathering and entertaining in mind, showcasing a sizable island, a farmhouse sink, and modern appliances. As this residence was relocated in 1972 from its original and historic site, the time and effort was made to place it on a modern foundation, giving you a full height and functional basement to use however you see fit. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the rich and historic fabric of Rochester, New Hampshire!
