Nestled in the quintessential New England town of Sutton Mills rests a charming 1800s converted church at 40 Main Street that is simply enchanting. With idyllic pastoral views out almost every window, the home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with absolutely incredible amenities and lots of entertaining space.

This wonderful home has been completely redesigned and updated, with over 3,300 sq. feet of living space. It’s only a short walk to town hall, the library, and the elementary school, and within only a 10-minute drive to the middle and high schools.

Arriving at the home, residents and guests are greeted by the splendor of nature and a semi-circular driveway. Mature trees provide a beautiful backdrop to the home, which is complemented by the river and ridge view across the street, in the soon-to-be conservation easement.

Inside, the main foyer features slate flooring and a large coat closet. There are two bedrooms off this welcoming space, with ceiling fans, generous closet space and built-ins. They share the updated three-quarter bathroom.

Upon entering the grand hall, the attention to detail is impeccable, with a coffered tin ceiling, horsehair plaster walls, and new wainscoting throughout. Each window features stained glass behind the Hunter Douglas shades.

The open concept living, dining, and eating area has been thoughtfully designed for entertaining. The brand-new kitchen boasts quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a farmers’ sink, prep sink, double oven, and plenty of storage. There is also a fantastic built-in study area, perfect for homework or various craft projects.

Just beyond the kitchen is a guest wing, offering a first-floor master bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom, complete with tin walls, a new vanity, and a clawfoot tub. There is also access out to a splendid screened-in porch, and access to the oversized two-car garage, featuring a workshop, heated office, and extra storage above. The second-floor area of the garage has the potential to be finished to create more livable space, as it already has a skylight and is piped for heat.

Upstairs, the second floor extra-large master bedroom with en-suite has three massive built-in closets. The oversized bathroom features granite countertops, his and hers vanities, and a tiled shower with double shower heads. Additionally, the bedroom has stairs leading to the third-floor post and beam bonus room, which includes a huge walk-in closet with built-ins, as well as has access to a pull rope to ring the operable bell!

Other amenities of the home include rain-detecting Velux skylights on each floor, first-floor laundry room with extra-large front loaders, and 1G fiber-optic internet. There is also plenty of room for expansion.

This delightful home is just waiting for its next owners to continue to love and care for it. Located a short distance from Interstate 89, it’s only 30 minutes to Concord and Lebanon, and just 50 minutes to the Manchester airport. Nearby recreation includes Mt. Sunapee, Mt. Kearsarge, Lake Kezar, three golf courses, and many hiking trails and State Parks.

Offered at $499,000, the home is exclusively listed by Carter Bascom of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty in New London. For more information or to schedule a private viewing, contact Carter at 603-493-8642.
