Contractors take notice!! Tons of period detail in great condition means you can create a real gem out of this historic home on the Winnipesaukee River. Start at the Carriage House with plenty of room for a large apartment. Enter into the grandeur of the huge hall and wide, sweeping staircase. The craftsmanship found here would be impossible to recreate today, with built-ins everywhere: pocket door to the living room, built-in glass cases, dining room china cabinet, butler's pantry lined with cabinets, leaded and stained glass windows, four fireplaces... there is even ...a private island - you have to come and see! This house has a scullery (large pantry behind the kitchen with appliances), back staircase with private bedroom and walk-in linen closet, dumbwaiter(!!) and finished third floor. Plenty of room for extended family, perfect for a B&B. Please come take a look. Worked needed certainly, but well worth it!
