Leavitt Hill Farm, Deerfield
$479,549


Leavitt Hill Farm is located in one of the originally settled areas of the town of Deerfield, home to the famous Deerfield Fair.  This is a great commuter location with easy access to the east-west state routes of 101 and 202/4/9.  It's only 15 minutes or so to the city of Manchester, as well.  Interstates heading south and east are nearby, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is just 15 miles southwest, and the seacoast is about a half hour drive.  Commute to Boston, MA in an hour or so.

For outdoor enthusiasts, spend time off the farm at nearby Bear Brook State Park, one of NH’s largest parks containing over 10,000 acres of conserved land for the public to swim, hike, bike and camp.  Horseback riding is encouraged along miles of well-maintained trails.

This farm has rich history and was once a country store in the 1950's.  Then, as now, the immediate area enjoyed scenic farmland, yet was easily accessible.   The improvements sit high above the road and are accessed by a paved circular drive lined by stately old maple trees.  A beautiful setting amid 27 acres, the land is a mix of field and forest, crisscrossed with great rock walls, an historical landscape feature in our state.

Enjoy this wonderful, rambling 1780's cape with four bedrooms, 3.5 baths cape that was restored in 1989.  With attention to period detail, this home has retained its antique features while incorporating the necessities we demand today.  The main cape is post and beam with Greek Revival-style molding, wainscotting and doors, gunstock corners and wide pine floors.  Rumford fireplaces accent nearly every room. The large dining room with another fireplace and beautiful pine mantle, was probably was the original keeping room.   On these chilly evenings, what a delight to warm up next to a crackling fire!  A formal living room, library and den or 4th bedroom complete the first floor.

The ell houses the country kitchen and family room, a wonderful space separated by an exposed brick chimney.  Complete with granite counter tops, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, the kitchen enjoys a fireplace in the chimney while the family room has a woodstove on the other side.  As you come in through the mud room, the warmth of this area feels good.  On the west side of the family room is a screen in porch, a great place to enjoy when the warm weather season rolls in.

Front and back stairways give access to the upstairs.  The master bedroom enjoys its own bath, skylights and spacious his and her closets.  The common hallway has the laundry room and possible space for a study desk or family computer.  Across the hall are two more bedrooms.  Abundant windows and skylights throughout keep the home delightfully flooded with natural light.
