Every Home Has a Story, This One Has a Legacy

Every home has a story, but this one carries a legacy. It was born from the dreams of the seller and her late husband; a vision they crafted together, every detail thoughtfully imagined (though, as she lovingly admits, mostly by him). Though he passed before construction began, she made sure their shared dream came to life, and what they created is nothing short of beautiful.

A Masterpiece of Light and Connection

The heart of this home unfolds in an open expanse where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces blend effortlessly together. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, accentuating the warmth of natural wood and stone. (scroll down)

Designed for both elegance and ease, this space invites conversation, celebration, and quiet moments alike; a seamless union of beauty, comfort, and connection.

At its center, the kitchen stands as a showpiece of craftsmanship and function. A Thermador Professional gas range anchors the space, complemented by granite countertops, a massive center island, and premium KitchenAid stainless-steel appliances; all expertly designed and installed by Brennan & Mackay of Milford, NH. Just beyond, a generous walk-in pantry sits across from the full-sized refrigerator and freezer, ensuring both form and function meet in perfect balance.

A Dining Experience Framed by Nature

Surrounded by walls of windows, the dining area captures the essence of this home’s design: open, light-filled, and connected to the beauty outdoors. Overlooking the front portico, it offers a peaceful backdrop of stone, light, and the river, bringing the serenity of the setting right to the table.

Created as a space to gather and share life’s moments, the dining area reflects the warmth and care that guided every detail of this home’s design. Whether hosting dinner with friends or enjoying a quiet morning meal, it perfectly balances comfort and elegance. Just next to the kitchen, a cozy breakfast nook offers a more intimate setting to begin the day; a quiet reminder of the thoughtful planning and love that shaped every corner of this home.

The Room That Holds the Heart of Home

Bathed in golden light and framed by natural wood beams, the living room offers a sense of warmth that feels both timeless and deeply personal. A grand stone fireplace anchors the space, while expansive windows and glass doors draw your eye to the river beyond. It’s a room designed for gathering, where laughter fills the air, stories are shared, and the calm reflection of the water becomes part of the home’s rhythm. The living room is outfitted with a built-in entertainment center as well as a media closet, which has a connection to the wired sound system in the Kitchen.

Beyond the glass, the screened portico invites you to step closer to nature. Beneath its vaulted wood ceiling, the sound of the river mingles with the crackle of the second fireplace and the rustle of leaves, a peaceful retreat that feels alive in every season. Whether enjoying morning coffee or quiet evenings as the sun sets over the water, these spaces capture the essence of what this home was built to be: a place where beauty, comfort, and connection flow together as effortlessly as the river itself.

The Primary Suite: A Study in Stillness

Nestled on the first floor and thoughtfully set apart from the main living spaces, the primary suite offers both privacy and purpose. A place where mornings begin quietly and end in peace. A long hallway opens into a warm, light-filled bedroom anchored by custom-built-in bookshelves and double glass doors framing tranquil river views. Step outside to the side yard, or simply take in the stillness from bed as sunlight filters through the trees.

Inside, every feature serves both comfort and intent. The suite includes an elegant ¾ bath with a glass shower, a spacious walk-in closet, and an in-suite washer and dryer for daily convenience. The adjoining office, lined with windows and rich wood cabinetry, offers a perfect space for reading, reflection, or working from home.

The office space could double as a second walk-in closet. For those who would prefer to keep their bedroom on the second floor, the entire suite could serve as a massive library and office.

It’s a rare combination of serenity and function, designed as much for inspiration as for rest.

A Balcony Above the Trees

This upper-level suite feels almost weightless, bathed in natural light from its soaring, ceiling-height windows. Step through the glass doors to a Juliet balcony overlooking the front grounds, a peaceful vantage point where the landscape stretches outward and time seems to slow.

Inside, thoughtful design continues with a built-in ceiling-high bookshelf, a generous walk-in closet, and a full ensuite bath. Every inch of the room balances openness and calm, blending luxury and livability in perfect harmony. Whether used as a primary bedroom or a private guest retreat, this suite captures the timeless grace that defines the home.

Comfort and Privacy

This second upstairs suite offers a simple, welcoming design with soft natural light and views of the wooded backyard. A walk-in closet and private ¾ bath provide everyday comfort and convenience, making it ideal for guests or family.

The Great Room Above

This expansive space, stretching across the full width of the three-car garage below, was designed with flexibility in mind. Its generous proportions and natural light create endless possibilities: a game room, home theater, playroom, studio, or even a private in-law or guest suite.

With its dormered ceilings, refined finishes, and open feel, the room carries the same craftsmanship seen throughout the home, offering both function and sophistication in equal measure. It is a space limited only by imagination, ready to evolve with its next owner’s vision.

The Loft Bonus Room

Tucked just above the main level, this bright and inviting loft offers quiet versatility. A circular window and skylight fill the space with daylight, creating an ideal corner for reading, reflection, or remote work. Built-in wall storage adds function without compromising style, and its open design keeps it connected to the rhythm of the home below.

The Upper Laundry Suite

Thoughtfully designed for efficiency and ease, the second-floor laundry room offers a rare balance of form and function. Expansive countertops and wall-to-wall cabinetry provide exceptional workspace and storage, while windows frame serene views of the river beyond.

Equipped with a second set of Whirlpool washers and dryers, a deep sink, and a dedicated closet for central vacuum accessories and other supplies, every detail was built for convenience and comfort. It’s a hardworking space that feels anything but utilitarian; refined, bright, and beautifully practical.

The Foundation of the Dream

Spanning the full footprint of the home, this lower level was designed with both practicality and possibility in mind. With interior and exterior access, a dedicated utility room, and a generator-ready panel, it’s as functional as it is expansive.

In one corner, a small workshop area was thoughtfully set up for the seller — a quiet place to create and craft. It’s a fitting reflection of the home itself: built with care, purpose, and a touch of artistry that endures through every detail.

The Arrival Wing

Designed with both practicality and comfort in mind, the heated three-car garage provides generous space for vehicles, tools, or recreational gear, with direct access into the home through a thoughtfully designed mudroom.

The mudroom serves as the perfect everyday entry, featuring a walk-in coat closet, additional storage, and convenient exterior access. A built-in dog door through both the interior and exterior walls allows four-legged family members to come and go freely, complemented by a full invisible fence system surrounding the property.

Every detail was designed for seamless transitions, from daily arrivals to weekend adventures, blending utility with understated luxury.

The Motor Hall

A dream space for enthusiasts and craftsmen alike, this detached, heated three-bay garage spans roughly 41 by 46 feet and is fully equipped with electricity and two professional-grade two-post hydraulic lifts.

Whether you’re maintaining a fleet, restoring a classic, or simply storing your favorite machines, the space offers both capacity and capability. Brightly lit, impeccably kept, and built with purpose, it’s as versatile as it is impressive, a reflection of the same thoughtful design seen throughout the home.

The Grounds & Riverfront

Spanning nearly twelve acres of gently rolling land, the property offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty and versatility. Open fields and wooded borders create a landscape perfectly suited for those who value space, privacy, and connection to the outdoors.

The grounds present an ideal setting for equestrian enthusiasts. There is ample acreage for paddocks or a future stable, with direct access to quiet country roads and nearby Class VI riding trails.

Beyond the lawns, the Souhegan River flows just downstream from Waterloom Pond, where a permitted dock invites peaceful moments by the water’s edge. While motorcraft may not clear the nearby bridge, the calm current makes it perfect for kayaking or paddling upstream under the canopy of trees.

A stone walkway leads to the lower riverside patio, an intimate retreat for reflection, reading, or simply listening as the water winds past. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary or a future horse property, these grounds were designed to be lived in and loved.

One Last Look

When the sellers stopped by during the photo shoot, their dog padded up to the front door and sat quietly, waiting, as if expecting to be let back inside. The boxes were long gone, but to him, this was still home.

It’s a simple moment, yet it speaks volumes about what was built here, not just walls and windows, but warmth, comfort, and memories that linger in every corner.

Now, this home stands ready for its next chapter, waiting to welcome new footsteps, new laughter, and another story to call its own.
