Address: 7 Melendy Hollow Amherst NH
Listed by Colin Murdough Duston Leddy Real Estate Cell: 603-731-9612
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, 4 bedrooms, office (5th bedroom) and 3½ baths, it blends 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 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 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.
