Thirty miles of open valley below you, and at the far end, snow-capped Mount Washington. This custom single-level home sits on a private mountaintop in Dalton at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and that view follows you into almost every room. Walk in and the great room pulls you straight to the glass. Wide-plank wood floors run through more than 6,000 square feet without a single stair. Morning sun pours into the kitchen while the valley below is still in shadow, so whoever is cooking gets the best seat in the house. At sunset the last light turns Washington amber, and you watch it happen from your own sofa. Even on a gray day, the weather moving across the valley is worth pulling up a chair for. The plan was designed in 2004 for this ridge, not adapted to it, and you feel that in the proportions of every room. There are three bedrooms and three and a half baths, with a private bath for every bedroom. The primary suite sits apart from the rest of the house, and the mountains are the first thing you see each morning. Open the home up for a full weekend of family and friends, or close it down for two. The private acreage does what mountain land should. No neighboring rooflines, no traffic, just tree line and sky. It feels like a private world, even though town is never far. The seasons arrive in order outside your windows: green in spring, long summer evenings with light past nine, White Mountains foliage in fall, then the hard blue-and-white winter days when the peaks look close enough to touch. The practical side is handled too. Solar panels are already in place to trim energy costs through the long, bright winters. Fidium Fiber delivers up to 2 Gbps, so working full time from the top of a mountain is as easy as working from the city. The home has been well maintained, which means you arrive for the view, not a project list. Some homes have a view. This one was built around it. Schedule your private tour and see it for yourself.
Privately located on 27 acres, with a 270 degree view from the top of Mt. Washington to the bottom of the CT River Valley, this 6,000 sf mountaintop home is extraordinary. The house was beautifully planned with 12 rooms including 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a main living area with stone and natural woodwork, a formal dining area, and special sitting areas to enjoy the view. The center of the house is open with vaulted ceilings, natural light and elegant features, all inter-connected with a perfect flow for gatherings and inclusion. The kitchen and pantry were planned for efficiency with ample work-space, cabinets and appliances, and a casual foyer allows for family dining, games and rest. The owner's wing was wonderfully designed with a formal office/library, a master bedroom suite with elegant bath, walk-in closets and an additional office and study. A guest wing gives each bedroom its own bath, and utility areas serve with function and purpose. Every major room has a breath-taking view. There is every reason to consider this elegant property as your home or your escape, for generations to come.
