94 Dearborn RoadGreenland, NH 03840Sale Price: $500,000

Originally built in 1735, 94 Dearborn is the perfect example of a classic New England antique home. This property, a stone's throw from Great Bay and surrounded by executive homes, has been expertly upgraded to provide for modern needs, while preserving its extensive history. Upon entering the home, you immediately sense the character of this rare offering. The exposed original beams in the kitchen are embedded with square cut nails meant to hang home grown herbs and vegetables to dry. The original keeping room now serves as a dining room with the focal point being its enormous cooking hearth, complete with beehive warming oven, chimney crane and smoke chamber. Original rooms in the house have beautifully preserved wide pine floors, a multitude of built-in bookcases and other cabinets. Each room houses either a wood stove or a fireplace, adding to the antique ambience. The eat-in kitchen has been updated with modern appliances and a large family friendly island. A library with an entire wall of bookshelves contains pocket doors leading to an oversized family room recently added at the back of the house - many family celebrations have been held in these rooms. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms. The master, enhanced by exposed beams and an elevated ceiling, has its own bath and a large cedar lined walk-in closet, amenities so rare in an antique home. The remaining 2 bedrooms are amply sized and share a jack and jill bathroom. If you love history this is a property not to be missed.
