7 Nubanusit Lane, Peterborough, NH 03458

Circa 1929, in the Mediterreaan tradition, this stucco home in a parklike setting was designed and constructed to be part of Nubanusit Park. Mary Cheney Schofield, her interest outside of her philanthropy, was “the purchase, beautification and development of local real estate areas. Her interest along this line was centered principally in the area near the junction of Main, Union and High streets on both sides of the Nubanusit river. She developed the park adjoining the waterfalls, one of the most sightly spots in this section, and in 1927 constructed her home adjoining the waterfalls and which she named “Beside Still Waters.” Edwin B. Goodell from a Boston firm designed her home and appears to be the primary architect who worked along with Schofield to design the Nubanusit Park Homes. Landscape Architect Fletcher Steele, also from Boston, designed her gardens at “Beside Still Waters” along with other projects in the area. Features of this well-maintained 4 bedroom, 2 bath home have been preserved, With careful attention to design and detail of the interior, the same is true of the exterior. Striking stonework, inviting terraces, built-in bookshelves and cabinets, fireplaces, ironwork, and hardwood floors. This privately sited home at the end of the lane is a short walk to the village, the library, casual and fine dining, intimate theatre and parks along the waterfalls and rivers.
