186 Old Turnpike Rd, Richmond, NH, 03470

NEW PRICE! 250 years ago a pioneer explored southern NH in search of the ideal site to build his family a home. Raised on a gentle mound, with a view of a neighboring peak and protected by a deep, stream filled gorge, the settler cleared 5 acres of land. Using only local timbers and massive granite blocks, he laid his foundation and framed his home to maximize Southern exposure. The original home with all its character, charm and patina has survived. A nationally recognized design team were determined to save it. With extreme care and reverence to its history, the antique cape has been restored and transformed into a comfortable retreat for today's lifestyles. The entire second floor is new with two bedrooms, private office and play area. First floor primary bedroom with luxury private bath. Peaked ceilinged kitchen with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances. Large mudroom with laundry, storage, and a dog washing station!. Concrete floored basement and new HVAC system. Two expansive and private decks. There is an old outbuilding that could be a fine potting or gardening shed. A true, private, country escape, off the the beaten bath, for those who want to enjoy a bucolic setting knowing the house update has been completed.
