About This Home
As of May 2022Are you ready to fall in love with a piece of history? This stunning, historic 1788 Post & Beam colonial was once the 2nd Hillsborough County Courthouse. The current owners have tastefully updated nearly the entire house. As you enter the center entry hall with sweeping staircase you can feel the warmth of this home. It features 10 spacious rooms with newly refinished, wide pine floors, custom millwork, 9 fireplaces and 2 beehive ovens. The brand new eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home with custom inset cabinetry, soapstone counters, large marble island, 6 burner Wolf range and fireplace with custom insert. Host family and friends in the formal dining room with large windows, wainscoting and gorgeous exposed carrying beams. The first floor also offers a living room, private office and a newly constructed family room with Vermont slate floors, custom cabinetry and a bar. Upstairs you will find four spacious bedrooms all with cozy fireplaces and custom built-ins. The two baths upstairs have both been completely remodeled with marble floors and high end fixtures. Enjoy the outdoors on the expansive, private screened porch overlooking the beautifully manicured yard. There is a new high velocity heating and A/C system, new siding, new shutters, completely insulated, new garage doors, home gym, etc. There is absolutely nothing left to do, besides move in and enjoy.
