Beach Access! Step into timeless elegance with this extraordinary 1929 Classical Revival home, where historic craftsmanship and gracious living come together beautifully. Period details include ornate plaster moldings, stained and beveled glass windows, quarter-sawn oak floors, rich mahogany doors, extra-high ceilings, a sweeping front staircase, and a classic fireplace that creates a warm, dramatic sense of arrival.
Offering nearly 5,000 square feet, the home features five bedrooms and six baths, including four ensuite bedrooms for comfort and privacy. Two expansive porches, including a screened porch, overlook spectacular perennial gardens filled with layered plantings, seasonal blooms, and mature landscaping that provide color and fragrance from spring through fall. Pollinator-friendly varieties attract birds and butterflies, while established borders and intimate garden spaces create a serene, park-like setting ideal for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, and evening stargazing. A charming portico and garage add convenience while preserving architectural character.
Ideally located in Historic Shaker Village minutes from Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Health, the property offers rare flexibility. Formerly a successful bed and breakfast and now a single-family residence, it is well suited for elegant private living or renewed hospitality use. Enjoy year-round recreation with nearby lake activities, rail trails, and mountain biking, plus easy access to multiple ski areas including Whaleback, Sunapee, Dartmouth Skiway, and Ragged Mountain, with Killington, Stowe, and Loon about an hour away.
Completing this remarkable offering is a peaceful, private meditation chapel — a truly unique retreat space that sets this home apart.
