Nestled in the heart of picturesque Old Hillsborough Center, one of the town's most treasured and architecturally significant neighborhoods, this antique homestead is as much a part of the village's story as it is a place to call home. Originally constructed circa 1850 as a cobbler's shop on nearby Maplewood Farm before being relocated to its present setting in 1940, the original portion has been lovingly preserved, and a later addition offers comfortable everyday living while maintaining the home's historic charm. Surrounded by distinguished antique homes, classic stone walls, mature trees, perennial gardens, and quiet beauty that makes Old Hillsborough Center so beloved, this property feels worlds away while remaining minutes from everyday conveniences. Inside, warmth and character abound. The country kitchen flows into an inviting dining room, while the sunken living room w/ wood stove & oversized bay windows overlooks the backyard & barn. A primary suite w/ fireplace & attached bath, second bedroom, full guest bath, & laundry area complete the living space. The 16'X20' barn offers exceptional space for woodworking, an artist's studio, hobbies or storage, as well as an attached enclosed lean-to w/ oversized doors & ample space for vehicle storage, lawn equipment, ATVs or snowmobiles. An additional storage shed, paved driveway, & beautifully maintained grounds complete the storybook setting. Careful stewardship & extensive improvements by the current owner, including a newer roof, updated electrical & plumbing, water treatment system, chimney upgrades, extensive barn restoration & more, allow the next owner to appreciate the home's rich history w/ peace of mind. 578 Center Road blends history, craftsmanship, and everyday living. Moments from Fox Forest & downtown Hillsborough, convenient to Concord, Keene, & Manchester, and under two hours to Boston, this is more than a home...it's a chance to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of Hillsborough's history.
