258 Main St Charlestown, NH 03603

Set in the heart of the Charlestown Main Street Historic District, this exceptional 1834 home known locally as "The Stone Cottage" and featured in the National Register of Historic Places, is a rare opportunity to own one of New Hampshire's estimated 50 surviving stone houses. Meticulously restored over an 8-year period, the home seamlessly blends historic character with thoughtful modern upgrades, and is only a stone's throw from essential amenities. Offering 5 total bedrooms and 3 full baths, the residence showcases remarkable craftsmanship throughout, including original wide pine floors, soaring 8'10" ceilings on the main level, and an extraordinary collection of 9 working fireplaces with soapstone hearths, both original and custom. A stunning 2005 library addition features custom Douglas fir timber frame construction and connects through a hidden passageway to an expansive in-law suite with a kitchenette and separate garage access. The library also includes beautifully tiled bath with seamless shower design on the first floor, making this home ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodations. The heated oversized 2-car garage has an interior handicap-accessible ramp, while the breezeway and two-level wraparound deck create inviting transitional living and entertaining spaces. The kitchen is equally impressive with custom cherry cabinetry, tiled flooring, a large quartz breakfast island, JennAir cooktop, and Kenmore double ovens. Additional highlights include 7-zone radiant heat throughout, pellet stove, and a beehive oven and fireplace in the basement. The walkout basement also has it's own garage-door for toys and equipment storage. Major system updates include roof, plumbing, electrical, furnace, and insulation. This is not just a home, but a chance to own a truly one-of-a-kind piece of Historic New England.
