745 Briar Hill Road, Hopkinton, NH

Possibly one of the prettiest properties in bucolic Hopkinton, NH, this beautifully maintained 1785 Federal Period home one mile north of the historic town, is situated amidst its original 200 year-old stone walls on 19 acres. With a new kitchen and recently renovated primary bath, this home combines historic charm with modern comfort. In summer, one can dine morning, noon and night on a delightful screened-in porch just off the kitchen, entertained by white tail deer, and wild turkeys. An indoor spa with resistance pool, a fully carpeted cottage with workout space, and a clay tennis court provide year round potential. The garage houses a workshop, tractor and miscellaneous storage; plus a year's supply of carefully stacked firewood sits in the four bay carriage shed. Flower beds, a vegetable garden and fruit trees enhance a verdant landscape, while mature hemlock hedges harmonize with the four buildings to optimize privacy in a tranquil rural setting.
