Simple elegance in The Nelson House, restored and expanded in what amounts to new construction inside the rock solid bones of an 1800's era farmhouse. A perfect blending of the old and the new, with a Kitchen/Family Room addition designed for today. 4 fireplaces, a granite stove hearth, cathedral ceiling, 1st floor bedroom suite including sitting room w/fireplace. Original flooring and new random width pine, soapstone counters, an English elm kitchen island, a restored slate bar sink in the family room, original and reproduction hardware and fixtures are just a few of the details. With original cut granite foundation walls and chestnut post and beam framing, the basement and mechanicals have all been completely updated. The property is a classic small New England farm setting, with open fields, stone walls, and fruit trees, and located minutes from all of the outdoor recreation that our area offers. Adjacent 32 acres is also available for purchase. This project was a labor of love for renowned local restoration expert Neil Gilpin. See the attachment for his notes about the work.
