About This Home
As of July 202065 High Street, “The Tenney House”, is a very special property. Dr. Samuel Tenney, a surgeon at Bunker Hill, NH Judge and Congressman, constructed the home in 1798 in the Exeter Town Square, adjacent to the Church on Front Street. In 1893, in order to build a new courthouse, the home was moved by oxen across Exeter’s “Great Bridge” to its current 65 High Street location. What a spectacle to have witnessed this historic transport! The 6 bedroom Federal home embodies many grand architectural features that have been carefully restored and preserved. The original expansive front door is ornamented with a doric style portico and leads to a grand foyer facing the main winding staircase. A formal living room and a library, both feature original fireplaces with elegant hand-carved mantels. The living room fireplace is flanked by 2 westerly facing windows styled within recessed archways - a magnificent detail. A designer eat-in kitchen has custom cabinets, soap stone countertops and high-end appliances. French doors lead to a 3 season porch, perfect for morning coffee, and a westerly screened-in porch wrapping around the formal dining room. A lovely spot for sunset cocktails. The 2d and 3d floors carry 6 bedrooms. The master is expansive and has 2 walk-in closets on either side of the fireplace, a rarity for an historic home. 1 guest room has a cedar closet that leads to a “sleeping porch” and connects to the other guest room. A 3d floor holds 2 additional bedrooms, a study and exercise room, all updated with warmth and character that fits the mansion’s Federalist style. Located on a quiet street with direct access to the PEA athletic fields and trails, the property is perfect for a hike, river walk or stroll through town.
