471 Chapman Rd

The c1772 Davis Farm sits high on Beech Hill w/great southern exposure, on a lovely lot in a very desirable location. This comfortable, inviting home has been owned & loved by the Slanetz family for over 69 years. The updates & improvements blend well w/the original floors, vintage doors, built-ins & natural woodwork. Vol 2 of Historic Homes of Cheshire County mentions that the "wide boarding in the attic floor provided wood for the kitchen cabinets. Wainscotting from the 1938 hurricane, was pine from the property. Stones from their acreage were used to built a fireplace at one end of the 30' living room, which was originally a century-old, three room addition to the rear of the house". The galley kitchen opens into the 17x15 family RM/DR combination and provides an excellent gathering place for family and friends. The LR is spacious enough for a piano & provides abundant sitting areas. Bookcases & storage cabinets line both sides of the fireplace. Convenient first Floor BDR w/2 closets. Full bath on 1st FLR. The 2nd FLR has 2 generous bedrooms, both w/large closets, plus a half bath & a sewing area in the pretty foyer. There is a private office built in the attic area w/built-ins. All of the windows have been replaced. The barn/garage has 2nd floor storage. Direct entrance from the garage into the mudroom room/laundry room. A delightful home, not far from the entrance into Lookout Rock that offers dramatic views over Keene. This property is listed for the appraised value.
