Step back in time upon entering this classic "Summer Cottage" built in 1928 (center section - circa 1805 moved to the site from Landaff). Sitting high on a bluff over looking forest, meadow, manicured perennial gardens and the iconic White Mountains, this '5 over 4' Colonial conjures a feeling of calm & seclusion. Yet, from I-93 / Franconia, the journey to the site takes less than 5 minutes. Access is via a town maintained, designated scenic road. Enter the land through an older apple orchard & open field rimmed with fieldstone walls; first building in sight is a 33 X 36 detached barn/ garage, next onto the 6,422 sq. ft. Main House with phenomenal MT VIEWS apparent. Just beyond in a private meadow is the 'Ski House' (782 sq.ft.) built 1948; classic pine paneling, slate fireplace and ample windows highlight this unique open concept home. Craftsmanship of an era gone by is on full display with slate patio/walkways, stone walls & granite stairs through the terraced gardens to a spring fed stone pond. Appropriately, the house has 6 fireplaces, beamed ceilings, wood floors and an exquisite 'French' wallpaper mural in the dining room. Expansive space has been utilized as 6 bedrooms with attached baths; convenient 1/2 baths on the main level with access from the multiple gathering rooms. What a place to entertain! Easy exterior access to the covered porch and gardens to view Franconia Notch and even Mt Washington & the Presidential Range. An estate to be cherished by generations.
