Details:

Walnut Farmhouse is located in the charming town of Newton, NH. A small town conveniently located just six miles to most major highways, trains and shopping. The coast is twenty minutes away, boston, forty five minutes south.

The original 1800's part of the house has been lovingly updated and restored by the present owners over the past sixteen years. The features include a spacious kitchen/dining area that runs the full length (36 ft) of the back of the house. Custom maple cabinets & pantry, maple floors, sweep-in central vac, appliances, all blend in seemlessly with original woodwork, plaster walls & beamed ceiling and working fireplace with bee hive oven. Ten foot long window over the sink look out to two large multi level brick patio's that spill out to a back yard that invites you to play. Big enough for kick ball games, soccer practice, horseshoes... it's all been played here. Complete with a sand trap and a three holed putting green which was recently added where a pool used to be.

Two living/den rooms straddle the open center staircase. Both rooms have the modern conveniences of cable/internet access, one room wired for surround sound. Original woodwork, decorative mantel, fluted window trim can not be replicated today. Floors are original southern yellow pine.

Upstairs are four good sized bedrooms, the laundry area, a 3/4 bath with custom shower and cabinets.

The third floor has a finished in-home office as well as plenty of storage space in an unfinished attic space.

Added in 2000, an addition connecting the old with the new. Off the brick floor mud room is a 3/4 bath, also brick floor, pedestal sink, 2- person jacuzzi tub. The mud room also has a dutch door entrance to a spacious screened in porch that leads to the patio's/backyard. The largest part of the addition is a two car garage made to look like a barn. Above the garage is 600 sq. ft of finished space currently used by the owner as a salon business. The space could easily be converted to an in-law suite, it boasts a separate entrance off the back of the garage.

The present owners offer this property in the hopes that another family will enjoy the amenities of living in a house with modern
conveniences yet honor the historic value this house holds in a close rural community.
