The Daniel Carr House | 34 Kimball in Haverhill, NH[/caption]
This home, is a historically significant home circa 1792 with additions to the home made in 1816. This home is considered to be a well preserved example of Federalist architecture in New Hampshire through the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, known now as Historic New England . Our agent, Charles Crannell writes in the verbiage, "the home is exceptional for its early 19th Century interior finishes, specifically 9 wall murals painted by Rufus Porter whose work hangs in the Rufus Porter Museum in Bridgton, Maine and The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston."
In addition, the original doors, latches and locks are quite impressive as well. The present owners have painstakingly maintained the original integrity of the home along with updating the kitchen, bathrooms and systems including a steel standing seam roof.
When we met with the current owners, they had so much history of the home, and we felt it was worthy of making a video to talk about the murals and the home. To see more about this home, watch the video here.
There is a great deal of custom work done in the home, including the kitchen cabinetry, wide board pine flooring and tiled baths. The kitchen has a working fireplace and is fully equipped and large enough for entertaining. There is a formal dining room (as you would expect) and a front parlor, where the Rufus Porter murals are the subject of conversation!
The sun porch is bright and airy; sit and relax on a cool summer evening and look out over the lush gardens and fields. There are just under 260 acres of land held in conservation trust to protect the property, its fields, ponds, and woodlands. The property is within 12 miles to the Appalachian Trail and 6 miles to the White Mountain National Forest. Truly a rare find!
