Description

This handsome 1883 Victorian home, The Amasa Downes House, features a welcoming front porch leading into a grand hall, spacious high-ceilinged rooms, tall windows and beautiful woodwork. On the main floor you will find two living rooms, a dining room with built-in cupboards and a library. The kitchen has a large walk-in pantry, an informal dining area and a sitting area. The current owners, who have cared for the property for 50 years, converted the upper level of the barn into an artist's studio and dark room. On the second level of the main house is a master bedroom with bath and dressing area, three additional bedrooms, another bath featuring an early zinc lined soaking tub surrounded by oak and the laundry area. This home sits on 2.6 acres -- combining woods and open fields, stone walls, a seasonal stream, a small pond and beautiful, mature plantings and a detached barn. As only the fifth owner of the property, you can carry on the tradition of watching the annual parade from your front porch. Francestown, one of the loveliest towns in the Monadnock region, is only 25 miles to the regional airport and 75 miles to Boston. High speed internet and the varied living spaces are perfect for working from home.
