The Parsonage (c. 1820), in historic Hillsborough Center, sits on 7+ acres of open fields, bounded by stone walls and mature maples, overlooking the village green on an untrafficked road, between the old Methodist Chapel and the site of the original town house. Set high on a hill with views of Mondanock and the Contoocook Valley, the Olde Center is a place away, a step back in time to the slow, gentle tranquil life of yesteryear. The Parsonage is the very definition of a country village house. The house has been completely renovated and updated over the past 2 years blending old with new, offering modern convenience and ease of living while retaining the historical texture and features. Organized around a generous central hallway, the house has an open, light feel throughout. All but one room faces south, flooding with warm southern light through large, period windows year-round. A quintessential fireplaced parlor (where the parson wrote his sermons and met his parishioners) is to the east of the main entrance, and to the west a large, comfortable den with fireplaced dining area and views to the fields to the north and the village green to the south. A generous eat-in country kitchen in the ell has a trademark walk-in (8 ft x 8-1/2 ft) shelved pantry with abundant storage. Kitchen has been updated with new appliances, fixtures, lighting, soapstone countertops and ceramic flooring. Your option to paint kitchen grey/white, to complement new floor, for a more contemporary look, or retain the original natural wood. A mudroom from the garage to drop gear and dirt leads to the kitchen and a vintage soapstone guest bath. The master bedroom has its own bath; there is a "Jack & Jill" bath between the two remaining bedrooms. The house has a new multi-zone high efficiency heating system, four newly renovated bathrooms, new and refinished wood flooring, updated lighting fixtures, latest laundry equipment, and freshly decorated rooms. Buyers looking for a village farm, retirement or vacation home ...or a safe place for kids and pets, with endless places to play will love this property. A loft in attached P&B barn/garage offers possible 500sf expansion space (home office, studio, playroom, in-law apartment) with same warm southern exposure and views in all directions. The house is bright, clean and fresh. An easy, safe place to call home. Low maintenance. Everything is done. The location is one of a kind: protection, charm, space, recreation in all seasons. The lightly-used 1500 acre Fox State Forest and its 20 miles of trails is accessed just 1/4 mile away down a country road. Ski at Crotched Mountain and Pat's Peak, minutes away. Or simply take unhurried walks along unpaved, timeless roads -with scarcely a car- from the Center past old fields and stunning views of southwest New Hampshire. An additional 2 acre parcel bordering this property and E. Washington Road is available separately. Ideal for horse stables or a working animal barn. New wood siding, vapor barrier and blown-in insulation. Properties of this quality and distinction, in locations like this, and at this price point are more than rare.
