Nestled on 1.3 acres is a Post and Beam Cape modeled after and assembled with original parts from the historic 1799 Mayne House in Moultonborough ,NH (dismantled in 1995). Lovingly renamed, "Little Spinney" was rebuilt in 2006 in its current location. This storybook home is perfect for those loving 18th Century aesthetics with modern functionality. The owner has lovingly crafted and restored this 2096 sq ft home and honored its original features with new windows made of cedar with the original wavy glass panes reinstalled. Hand dressed wide pine tongue and groove 21' in boards in the parlor and dining areas, with the fireplace and chimney reconstructed of period bricks original to the house. In the kitchen, the frame of the cabinets are antique boards from the house repurposed with antique hand forged thumb latches. The main sink is handmade nickel coated copper crafted in a wooden box with a mahogany counter and the prep sink in the island is an antique yellow ware bowl. The First Level floors have radiant heat "new" 16" wide pine and the Second Level Loft is Norwegian imported wood. The walkout Lower Level renovations have been started and waiting to be finished as you create your own vision.
