Possible B&B right in the heart of downtown Littleton

One of the best opportunities for a B&B to come along for quite some time with 8+ bedrooms, including a large two room Master Suite, with a wood-burning fireplace in the sitting room, plus 3 full baths and 2 half baths in over 5,280 square feet of heated living space, not including the almost 2,000 square feet of semi-finished concrete floored basement space, for a total of over 7,000 square feet of living area.

This wonderful spacious home could easily be turned into a cozy and quaint  Bed & Breakfast, which could be lots of fun for those who have always wanted to run their own business. Your guests would have the benefits of staying right in the heart of Littleton with the privacy of a secluded country setting. Your guests can also enjoy a game of tennis  on your own regulation-size tennis court and at nighttime relax on the wraparound porch or sit and enjoy the view from one of the two balconies overlooking the town, and in the winter, the kids have a huge hill to sled down in the snow, then soon afterwards, come in and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa in front of a warm fire in the 1st floor parlor room .

This beautiful 1904 Victorian home is one of the three largest, single-family homes in Littleton, New Hampshire. It is elegantly situated on one of the largest in-town lots, measuring 1.7 acres, and offers  both privacy and open space. Yet, remarkably, it is only 300 feet from the center of the Charming and Historic Downtown Area of Littleton.

This grand home has a very large wrap-around porch, and, along with 12 gleaming white columns, captures the elegance and dignity of this Classic 1904 Victorian Home. Attached to the right side of the home is a large, four-columned Portico for parking or for future guests to drop off their belongings without getting all soaked on those rare occasions when it happens to be raining or snowing. Also the 350 foot long half moon driveway is accessible from the two streets of this exceptionally large corner lot.

The first floor consists of a large entrance foyer; two parlors, one with a wood-burning fireplace; a formal dining room; a unique and rare butler's pantry; a large, modernized eat-in kitchen; an extra-large walk-in food pantry; a half bath; and two other rooms, which could be used as a guest room, sewing room, or office. Between the two parlors are the original and working golden oak pocket doors. The entrance foyer and dining room have absolutely exquisite golden oak block wainscoting, which extends half-way up the walls. This work of art wainscoting continues throughout the hallway to the 1st floor balcony door, where a good size mud room is located, which holds ski equipment if needed. There are front and back staircases to the second and third floors.

The second floor consists of 5 bedrooms and a large two-room Master suite, with a wood-burning fireplace in the large sitting/reading room area. Two full baths are located on the second floor, one within the Master Suite and the other in the hallway. There is an abundance of closets and storage spaces, including two custom built units of golden oak in-wall drawers and shelves, crafted by woodworking artists when the home was built in 1904.

The third floor is the original Servants Quarters, and consists of 4 bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a full bath. There are two large walk-in attic storage spaces, plus tons of additional under- eves storage areas. Also, there is a cute, little reading nook, under a window, which offers a special get-away for that bit of desired solitude or just pleasant daydreaming. This third floor has the potential for a separate apartment, by use of the back stairway, with simple modifications.

The extra large basement has seven foot high ceilings and a toilet for convenience. It is divided into sections and rooms including a work shop area, a huge laundry room, and a few storage area rooms. The laundry room has a laundry chute located on the second floor, just outside two of the children's bedrooms. The basement is dry and has a concrete floor throughout, with an entrance from off the first floor kitchen area, as well as a direct entrance from the outside. The home is 5280 square feet, not counting the basement of about 2,000 sq. feet, which would bring the total square footage to over 7,000 sq. feet. It has cream colored vinyl siding, installed over rigid foam-board insulation, which helps provide fuel economy, as well as ease in maintenance. The house is heated with hot water, circulated through the original, decorative cast-iron radiators. Electric and plumbing have been recently upgraded for the first and second floors and for part of the third floor.

Outside, the planting of the natural fencing of tall and stately Blue Spruce, Fir, and Christmas Trees, along with the large Lilac bushes, apple trees, and white birch trees, are a delight to see and to breathe. There are also a few Concord grape vines on the fencing around the tennis court, for you to enjoy . Your view from your front porch will include this treasure of trees and shrubs, as well as some of the famous New Hampshire mountain ranges. Additionally, the views from the two side balconies on the first and second floors of your home will give different and greater views of the landscape and mountain scenery.

The charming town of Littleton is within 10 to 30 minutes of a few major ski resorts, such as Brettonwood, home of Olympic ski champion Bode Miller; Loon Mountain; and the hometown resort of Cannon Mountain. Skiing, hiking, and camping, can be found within close driving distance of this beautiful, historic home, in the famous White Mountains Region of New Hampshire.

Being only about 2 1/2 hours from Fenway park in downtown Boston, you could make this your summer/winter retreat, your private ski lodge OR, make it your very own wonderful and beautiful family home for every day of the year!!!!
