What a House in Franconia NH
I had the recent pleasure of visiting this great house we have for sale in Franconia NH the other day, and what a pleasure it was.
It's not everyday that you get to see antiques that have been repurposed and giving new life, and what a thrill to see that! This custom built home, is located on Old County Road in Franconia, NH. This is one of the sought after neighborhoods in the area. But in this home, the owners had such great stories to tell of how they cleaned all of the door knobs that were in the house, antique doorknobs that they picked up locally in Littleton at Admac Salvage. In fact, many of the fixtures came from Admac – antique marble sinks, bureaus that have repurposed into vanities, a clawfoot tub and much more! Truly was such a thrill to see these great antiques that you see on the shelves at the salvage store re-done into an amazing home. The home was custom built in 2004, and the quality and details of this home are just amazing! And I haven't even gotten to the Carriage House – it has this great open space for an artist/photography studio, antique cars, workshop, writer's haven…the possibilities are endless. And at the Carriage House, you'll not only find this great spacious area, but a one bedroom studio apartment, what a great spot as an in-law apartment, space for overflow company, or the college graduate who returns home for a while – ok, you may not want the space for that…but you never know!
I must admit, as an avid watcher of This Old House on New Hampshire Public Television, this house reminds me of the recent house they completed where they put an addition on an antique home, and they put on pantry doors that resembled barn doors. I always appreciate how craftsmen can repurpose items of yesteryear into something for "now." And this house in Franconia, has lots of beautiful features and fixtures that reminds me of a house you would see created on This Old House – however, its not an antique – so you get a build of today, with features of yesterday! Which reminds me, the workshop over at the Carriage House must be similar to what Norm Abrams and his associates on the New Yankee Workshop are used to! But if you buy this house, you can use that space any way you want – whether you are a woodworker, artist, antique car collector, or you just have a lot of equipment that needs a nice warm home!
So, we invite you to come see this newer Cape Cod Style home with 4 bedrooms and more on Old County Road in Franconia, and you'll appreciate how the owners are ready to take their labor of love, and turn it over to you for your enjoyment! And let me add this caveat, you could not replicate this home for even close to what its selling for.Come check it out!
