Property Description
Hinckley House- Situated in Historic Orford Village, the Hinckley House is one of the esteemed Ridge Houses, comprised of seven magnificent Federal style homes. Named to the National Register in 1977, the house is perched at the top of broad sweeping lawns, where the Boston Symphony Orchestra played for town residents in the 1890's. Thoughtfully and lovingly maintained, every aspect of care for this six-bedroom home has been rooted in respecting its historical significance and architectural integrity. The first floor has ample space to relax or dine, including a beautiful living room, a study, and two light filled dining rooms, one formal and one informal. The connected barn was converted to a dance hall during the 1890s, and today serves as a stunning game room. Guests entering the front foyer are greeted by a graceful winding staircase. Two upstairs bedrooms boast beautifully restored original Rufus Porter and Jonathan Poor folk art murals from the 1820-1830 period on all four walls, which were rediscovered by the prior owner in the 1960s and professionally restored. The home hosted an ailing Daniel Webster, who stayed in the North Bedroom for several days during the Presidential campaign of 1840. Three of the home's seven antique fireplaces are in service and add a warm glow in chilly weather. Just a 20-minute drive to Dartmouth College and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, the Hinckley House provides the serenity of a classic New England rural community.
