This Center Entrance 4 chimney Colonial Farmhouse was built in 1896 by James Hopwood for the Whittemore/Hopwood Family. The property was in that family almost 200 years and was once known as 'Hops Inn' and the Westview Farm. It's a short walk to the Thornton's Ferry location at the Merrimack River and the original farm boundary borders Stage Coach Road, which is the road going "over the river and through the woods" to the old NH State Capitol of Exeter. Long term owner has retired and is offering this family estate with many potential uses for the new owner: multi family, multi-generational home setup, B&B, in-home business, hobby farm, horse farm, etc. and it abuts miles of wooded trails of Conservation land for enjoyment. Hunt, fish, hike, ride, etc. minutes from home.  The large garage has new overhead doors, is wired 115v & 240v, insulated and can be heated by the wood stove. Recent work and updates to house include: new roof, two new 2 flue chimneys, other rebuilt house & garage chimneys, many new Harvey vinyl windows, new deck, new kitchen on 2nd floor, new bathroom on 2nd floor, new electrical wiring in walk up attic and other areas throughout the house on all levels, new appliances in 2nd floor kitchen, three year old boiler by oil, separate FHA wood furnace with water heater capability, two new oil tanks,  2 central heating systems, updated kitchen & bath on 1st floor, granite hearth in kitchen, first and second floor laundry, new electric circuit panel with lots of new wiring, central vacuum with outlets on each (of 4) level, asbestos abatement completed.  Large existing lot to be sub-divided prior to conveyance resulting in approximately 4 to 5+/- acres to go with the house and garage. Property abuts many acres of Litchfield Town Conservation Land (wooded) and State of NH Fish & Game (7.2+/- acre) land along the Merrimack River. Walk to the library, etc.  A rare opportunity to own a piece of Litchfield history. Final subdivision approval pending.
