Gould Hill panoramic views are just one of the reasons to consider Hampshire Hall, a grand 12 rm Neo-Georgian style brick home. The 10+acres includes two lots of record; 5.78 acres with the home & barn, and a 4.4 ac lot which by right and a shared drive could be another scenic home site. Hence, a lovely site for a family compound or future return on investment or, as is, a spectacular private estate. This enduring architecture favors formality and subtle elegance. Arrive at the front entrance adorned with columns and a fan window and enter the gracious foyer. At left, a coat closet, to the right a library now used as an office, and a half bath. Up a few stairs you will find a magnificent living rm with high ceilings and pretty fireplace. Across the grand hall, a formal dining rm with an adjacent butler’s pantry is perfect for entertaining. A kitchen and former porch, now family rm, complete the back of the 1st floor and have views of Mt. Kearsarge. An impressive stairway leads to the 2nd floor with four bedrms, a sitting rm and 2 baths. If you dare, walk to the attic rm and open the hatch to the “widow’s walk” and enjoy fabulous views. A 4- car garage, storage rms, and a greenhouse (needing repair) occupy the lower level. Many recent updates make this home easy to move into, however new owners will want updates of their own. The intrinsic gentility and gracefulness of this home is difficult to replicate making any future efforts worthwhile and a sound investment.
