1855 quintessential farmhouse on River Road - 4.8 miles to Baker Library.  Half-way between Lyme and Hanover.  Highlights:  large 3+ bedroom, best views across Connecticut River in Hanover, completely gutted and should be finished for a July 1st move-in (we hope!). Some highlights:  energy efficient (!!!) -- new Marvin-Ultra windows; geo-thermal wells, new propane boiler back-up, high-tech insulation, radiant flooring; cherry cabinets and brand new appliances; tiled showers and high end bathrooms. 

The upside to the construction is that everything in the house will be new, smart and beautiful.  Downside:  There will be yard work to do after all the construction so in the early months of the lease, it's likely to be a work in progress.  So, might need to be able to put up with some final touches to the outside and landscaping.

The property is comprised of the main house, a Barn apartment and a Garage apartment.  While not a requirement, the hope and intention is to create a cooperative property with the potential for shared vegetable garden, etc. 

Downstairs has huge mudroom with entry with powder room,  open LR, DR with bar, and kitchen with island; pantry with full bathroom off if it; studio/office which can also be another bedroom.  Upstairs is 3 bedrooms.  Primary suite has big dressing room and upstairs W/D unit.  Big deck off the primary bedroom.  See attached floor plans.  THere's room in the barn for bikes and storage.

There is garage parking for 1 car and outdoor parking for another car or 2.

If you're interested, best thing to do is call the owner to set up a time to visit or a FaceTime if you're out of town.  Attached is a picture of the outside of the house which was purposefully not changed much to keep the old character of the place.  also attached our some floor plans and "RoomSketcher" snapshots to give you a sense of the inside.  Becuase it'll be virtually new, absolutely no pets, no big parties.

Update as of 5/3.  Tile is going down and window frames are going up. Pictures will be posted in a couple of weeks, as with all the tools around, pictures are just not doing it justice.

It's an amazing property and awesome location.

PS - Lease term is negotiable.  Utilities are not included.  Snow plowing will be split by the number of cars on the property and divided appropriately.
