This stately 3,900 s/f colonial home built in 1792 offers the best of two worlds. If you’re looking for a home that has all of the warmth and charm of an antique with an open floor plan that suits a more modern lifestyle this just might be the one. It has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated through the years - mindful of the antique details, while creating a very livable, efficient home with clever built-ins, stunning 12/12 windows with storms, gunstock corners, wood floors (some original and some newer pegged floors), updated kitchen and baths, basement and utility upgrades, and a whole house generator. The property is an ideal family home – imagine the possibilities: Land for gardening, horses and/or other animals, trails for hiking, riding or snowmobiling, tennis court, beach volley ball court, and a skating pond.
The home: A stone path with perennial gardens leads you into a charming breezeway/mudroom that connects the 2-car garage with the home. Enter into the spacious kitchen with shaker style cabinetry and a very cook-friendly layout and space for everyone to gather for meals. The kitchen is open to the large family room with a beautiful wood cook stove serving to warm the entire space and/or simmer the soup on chilly days. On the other side of the grand entry foyer are twin parlors, both with fireplaces creating the more formal side of the house; one is now used as the dining room and the other the living room. Coffered ceilings, wide pine floors, and exceptional trim details accent these rooms making them warm and inviting, while the large 12/12 windows add lots of light and bring the outside in. A half-bath and large pantry complete the first floor.
Going up to the second floor – either by the magnificent front stair in the entry foyer or by the charming back stairs off the kitchen – you’ll find 4 very spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, and the laundry room. The master bedroom measures 17’ x 16’ with an en suite bath and two cedar closets. Wide pine floors, antique details, and lots of light make all of these rooms very inviting.
The Barn: The C. 1800 barn was moved and rebuilt on this site by a very talented, local craftsman. It currently has 4 horse stalls of varying sizes with water and electricity. Three stories and measuring 34’ X 66’ assures that there’s lots of space in the ground level to store the tractors or toys, and room for hay in the loft.
The Land: 72 gorgeous acres. With about 6 acres or so in good fields, there’s room to pasture the herd and grow the veggies or just enjoy the pastoral views. Truly spectacular stonewalls surround the house and delineate the fields and with acres of forest you’ll have a life time supply of fire wood, wildlife, and trails. For nearby trails check out the Canterbury SnoShakers they provide an awesome system in the area.
The Location: Set on a quiet country road in the lovely town of Canterbury with many historical sites, farms of all kinds, country estates and known for its many artisans and craftsmen who work and live in this inspiring village. It is also home to the historic Shaker Village all within 20 minutes to Concord and the Interstate, 1 ½ hr. to Boston.
