Property Description

Set on 2.33 private acres in Amherst, this exceptional Royal Barry Wills residence was designed directly by Royal Barry Wills Associates and reflects extraordinary craftsmanship, architectural proportion, and period-correct materials throughout. Offering more than 4,500 square feet with 11 rooms, 5 bedrooms, and 3½ baths, it blends timeless New England character with thoughtfully designed spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Enter through a 42-inch-wide, nine-panel "coffin" front door with a solid brass box lock into a foyer with a central staircase. The formal living room features raised paneling, elegant millwork, a fireplace, and a panoramic bowed window. A hallway leads to a private office with hidden secret door and a large first-floor primary suite. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen opens to a great room with a large fireplace and custom pass-through bar, while a sunroom with bluestone flooring overlooks the landscaped grounds. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large walk-in attic with expansion potential. New heat pump system with central air. Authentic period details include four fireplaces built with water-struck clay brick, troweled plaster walls, oak flooring with hand-forged rosehead nails, solid brass hardware, rat-tail hinges, and custom iron locks. The grounds, designed by renowned NH landscape architect Leon E. Pearson, feature brick and granite walkways, terraces, a granite fountain, custom lamp posts, irrigation, and a circular pea stone driveway. An attached heated three-car garage provides direct access to the large unfinished basement, complete with a workshop ideal for the automotive enthusiast or hobbyist. Adding to the home's appeal is its exceptional location, less than a half mile from the Jasper Valley Swim & Tennis Club and within 3 miles of three golf courses. Rarely does a property come to market that so fully reflects the architectural vision and craftsmanship of a Royal Barry Wills design.
