24 Old Amherst Rd

Be inspired by this exquisite farmhouse on 6.6 acres, with sweeping easterly views of the picturesque Souhegan River Valley. Originally built as a cape in the 1790s, this property was reimagined and expanded in the 2000s. The renovation seamlessly integrates historic charm and modern luxury with a two-bay detached garage, a built-in pool, decks, and many entertaining options. Visionary owners preserved historic details, like hand-hewn chestnut wood beams, and made thoughtful upgrades, such as four inches of insulating foam on the roof. Energy-efficient solar panels virtually eliminate electric bills, while Canadian double wall construction and an efficient heat recovery ventilation system ensure exceptional indoor air quality and warmth. Clean lines, stunning landscaping, handsome fir flooring, and earthy colors create harmony. This home’s heart is the gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, long, sleek counters, and a generous walk-in pantry. The sun-filled living and dining areas are made cozy by a gas fireplace and gathering space. The principal residence features a large primary ensuite with a tub and two more bedrooms and baths. Convenient first-floor laundry and walkout basement. The antique cape provides guests with a sitting room, bedrooms, office or studio, plus galley kitchen and bath, allowing for independence while still maintaining connections with the main home. Restoration of the south elevation in progress. Walk to Mont Vernon General Store and Town Library!
