50 Swallow Hill Rd, Franklin, NH 03235

Large Estate in Franklin NH - This stately colonial with 5+ Bedroom, 4 bathrooms was built in 1784 and moved to Swallow Hill in 1930's. The owners at the time, a Dutch family named the Van Utte's, hired craftsmen from White Plains, NY to raise the home, meticulously save the frame and much of the original wainscoting and paneling and other historical features of the home. The wainscoting in the den is said to be from the original Webster Tavern. A stone mason was hired to build the current cellar and a local cabinet maker from Hill, began forming and curving the center cooking isle cabinetry. In the 1940's the breezeway was converted into a family room with a massive walk in fireplace (the bricks were made on site) and gorgeous exposed beams, wide board floors and exquisite hardware on the front doors. Other features include 4 more fireplaces, Marvin replacement windows, mature grounds offering complete privacy, small apple orchard, Mt. views, tree lined paved driveway and a 4 bay garage w/storage above. This is a special home in a picture perfect setting. Short walk to Webster Lake. Furnished with negotiable lease term. (RLNE4902824)
