Remarkable Second Empire Residence
Rollinsford, New Hampshire | $999,999
Originally built as the Mill Agent’s home, this impressive property reflects the stature and craftsmanship of an era when architecture was built to last. From its distinctive mansard roof and dormer windows to its commanding brick façade. The main house offering 3-4 bedrooms, two full baths, soaring ceilings, period woodwork, fireplaces, hand painted murals, and a kitchen island that matches the home’s gracious proportions, the home offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of New Hampshire history. But this property offers much more than historic character. The property, with extensive updates over the past 7 years, consists of the impressive main residence plus two well-appointed apartments, once part of the main house, providing an exceptional combination of historic elegance, flexibility, and income potential. The apartments, a 1 bedroom with gorgeous floors, in unit laundry and covered porch overlooking the yard, and the 2 bedroom unit with roof top deck, can provide rental income, accommodate extended family or guests, or serve as private spaces for work and lifestyle needs.
