Description
Built as an exact, faithful replica of the famous 1627 John Whipple House in Ipswich, Massachusetts, this home captures the magic of First Period architecture paired with the rock-solid reliability of modern construction.If you love the character, warmth, and craftsmanship of historic New England homes, you already know the usual catch! 14 Walnut Hill is the rare property that gives you all the 17th-century soul without any of the 400-year-old structural headaches. The moment you step inside, the keeping room welcomes you with wide pine floors underfoot, hand-hewn exposed beams overhead, and a massive fireplace that instantly sets the tone. Throughout the home, you will find five fireplaces, exquisite wood paneling, rich wall murals, and gorgeous hand-painted stenciling that feels like living in a work of art. The finished attic offers a cozy, flexible space perfect for a home office, studio, or craft room. Where this home departs from the 1620s is everywhere it counts for everyday comfort. The chef's kitchen features custom granite counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a gas range. You will enjoy central air conditioning, a dry poured concrete basement, a cozy pellet stove, and a standby generator for complete peace of mind. The exterior features a classic cedar shake roof and freshly repainted wood siding. Outside, 2.4 open, rolling acres offer gently sloping, usable land that is fenced and perfect for pets, gardens, or quiet relaxation. Nestled in one of Amherst's most coveted neighborhoods and benefiting from the highly regarded Amherst school system, this is an extraordinary place to call home. You simply cannot find a property with this level of historic detail that is this effortless and peaceful to live in. Open House Friday 3-6, Saturday 12-2, Sunday 2-4.
