About This Home

As of June 2022

7 Brook Road, known locally as Stone Soup, is being offered for sale for the first time in 37 years. Set against a conservation protected backdrop of rolling fields and wood, the property was originally built as a country store in 1815 by Frederick Smith, whose family was among the original settlers. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by a large double-sided raised paneled fireplace. The living room is finished in black sand plaster, as was the historic Strafford Townhouse. Custom millwork and wide pine flooring are used throughout the first floor. The large, bright eat-in kitchen, with an adjoining covered porch and parterre herb garden, boasts an original store counter, making for a perfect center island. An adjacent dining room and study with porch access to a private garden setting for entertaining, completes the first floor. Climbing the stairs to the second floor, sweeping views of fields, gardens and the Ompompanoosuc River, are the first impressions of this large light-filled master suite, complete with fireplace, and expansive private veranda. Down the hall are two bedrooms, with a large bath, and a private back staircase to the study. Extensive structural restoration blended historic fidelity with a modern application. Even the original "two-holer" from the local school was salvaged and repurposed as a garden shed, complete with period graffiti. This historic, Federal style property with its English cottage-style landscaping is in pristine condition throughout. The property has been featured in Colonial Homes magazine, Boston Globe and New York Times travel section. Kate.Cassidy@FourSeasonsSIR.com
