836 Jewett Road, Hopkinton, NH 03229

Truly one of the loveliest 18th century homes in NH, remarkably restored for today’s lifestyle. Walk up to the elegant front door of this 1795 Center Chimney Colonial and be welcomed by a gracious hallway and Captains stairway. A scroll décor on stair risers is the first example of fine craftsmanship and period detailing you will witness throughout this home. Two formal rooms flank the hallway, a living room with pocket window shutters and fireplace is to the right. Left is an extraordinary dining rm with exquisite paneled walls salvaged from a Portsmouth NH home and incorporated here many years ago. Next, the “keeping” room, less formal, has wonderfully mellow paneling and a fireplace with twin bake ovens. A corner rm is a perfect office. A half bath completes the first floor of this section and even it has a fireplace! A back ell, believed to be the original Jewett homestead, was moved and adjoined to this grand Colonial. Its courtyard is defined by a white picket fence. Enter and you will be enchanted by the ambiance of the mudroom and country kitchen. Thoughtfully designed, this area includes a walk-in pantry and delightful breakfast nook. The 2nd floor offers a 2nd office, 4 bedrms,two baths, one a private bath to the primary bedrm. Exterior landscaping includes an in-ground pool, tennis court, a cedar sided carriage house for 2 cars & workshop, a storage shed, perennial gardens,old granite carriage steps, an irrigation system & a 2nd garage.
