Step into a rare piece of New England history where timeless character and breathtaking scenery come together in perfect harmony. Originally built in 1899 as the Walpole Golf and Tennis Clubhouse, this extraordinary Gilded Age residence is far more than a home, it's a story waiting to be continued. Perched to capture sweeping western views, the classic architecture showcases a gracious wrap-around covered porch--an idyllic setting for evening sunsets over the mountains. Inside, the heart of the home was once the club's famed "19th hole," now transformed into a warm and inviting open living space anchored by a striking brick fireplace adorned with the original club insignia. It's easy to picture lively gatherings here, where laughter and conversation linger long after the day's play. The kitchen blends timeless appeal with everyday functionality, a spacious peninsula and a charming breakfast nook and seamlessly connects to a sun-filled room addition designed for effortless access to the front entry and a circular side deck--both perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding beauty. The main level also offers a comfortable primary bedroom with access to a bath, along with a second bedroom or office, ideal for flexible living. Adding a truly distinctive touch, the unique "silo" guest suite--introduced in the 1970s--offers a nostalgic retreat, complete with its original acorn stove and authentic mid-century character. A staircase leads to the lower level, where guests will find a private bedroom, kitchenette, and bath, all opening directly to the grounds and those same captivating views. A short walk takes you to the village, and a short drive to I91, hospitals and ski areas. For those seeking a one-of-a-kind property rich in history, charm, and personality, this remarkable Walpole village home is an opportunity not to be missed. Welcome to a place where past and present meet--beautifully.
