Property Description

A Legacy Estate Rich with History and privacy! This Exquisite Asher Benjamin Greek Revival built in 1812 has more than 8,000 square feet across 24 rooms and 11 private acres with woods, mature plantings and a secret walled garden located at the south end of Main Street in Walpole NH. Memorable gatherings and holidays are assured with 10 fireplaces, 8 bedrooms (most with en-suite baths), high ceilings, original wide plank wood floors, glass windows and ornamental millwork, while the modernized tile bathrooms and heating system ensure comfort. The home's formal dining room, elegant library/den, and 2 sitting rooms set the stage for grand entertaining. One parlor showcases rare original "Monuments of Paris" hand-painted Dufor wallpaper also hanging at the Winterthur Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of art. The family-sized kitchen is a cook's dream with premium appliances, two ovens and a separate baking area. Direct kitchen access to a large, screen porch guarantees maximum family dining enjoyment whatever the season. This home is central to the history of Walpole, and its grandeur has only grown with time. Out front there is a majestic yellowwood tree, one of the oldest and largest in New England, planted in 1855 by Frederick Newman Knapp to honor his marriage. It brings breathtaking color in the fall and offers a forty-foot span of shade in the summer. Modern creativity also has a place here: a professional recording studio, complete with equipment elevator and direct garage access, opens doors for musicians, podcasters or producers seeking a dedicated workspace. The layout of the home lends itself to multigenerational living and guest accommodations. From grand entertaining to quiet reflections, this property has been an oasis for more than 200 years.
