Is this a painted lady?? What an incredible local treasure!! This is one of the most handsome quality built homes in the Keene area. If walking to our recently expanded library, restaurants, schools and colleges, and culture are important to you, you will want to own this stately home being part of our vibrant community. Built in the late 1890's when the railroad was an important part of Keene's economy this was and still is a gem. The private backyard is an area of well planned gardens, flowering shrubs and an easy to maneuver walkway awaiting your peaceful private enjoyment. Craftspeople have implemented tin ceilings, incredible leather tooling on some of the walls, some stained glass windows, some wood floors, fireplaces, beautiful natural woodwork, pocket doors and more here. Part of the third floor was once a billiard room. The barn once housed a bowling alley, is a place to park cars and has a staircase to the second floor which is one big space. This was once a heated carriage barn. There is a narrow second staircase on the driveway side of the house leading to a 2nd floor bedroom and bath (old servant's quarters?) There is heat and air conditioning on all 3 floors of the house. The VERY clean basement with normal height ceilings has a concrete floor and appears to be dry. You will be very proud to own this historic home ! In 1985 there was a house tour here as part of a fund raiser for the Keene Sunrise Lions Club. (article included)
