Step back in time to small town living at it's best. Hampton Falls is home to Applecrest Farms...a magical summer and fall tradition of apple picking and harvest festivals for families. The town common around the corner hosts summer drive-in concerts at the gazebo and farmer's markets & craft fairs throughout the year. Walk to the Post office or the hardware store or launch your boat at the town boat launch nearby. The historic Dodge House was built by a wealthy mill owner in 1812. One of the mills, Dodge Mill, built-in 1765, is still standing at 27 Kensington Road. John Greenleaf Whittier summered in Hampton Falls and wrote many of his poems while living down the road. Whittier Pond across the road from the house is named for the poet. The owners have lovingly restored the classic features of this Georgian styled colonial home which include a large foyer with a grand staircase, original working Indian shutters, numerous mantels and moldings and Anna French Thibaut designer wall coverings. The kitchen has been remodeled with a large antique soapstone sink, open shelving, an enormous walk-in pantry, and tile floors with a foot warming radiant heat path. You enter with groceries along a brick path into a beadboard finished mudroom adjacent to a separate laundry room & large welcoming eat- in kitchen . The large grassy yard is incredibly serene with a privacy hedge surrounding the gardens, secret dining hideaway, grape arbor and fruit bearing cherry trees.
