17 Wheeler House Drive, Orford, NH, 03777

ROGERS HOUSE- One of the seven iconic Ridge Houses that prominently face west in Orford Village, this home recently underwent a meticulous three-year historical renovation/restoration under the eye of premium builders G.R. Porter & Sons. The result is a grand, sophisticated estate which seamlessly blends original charm with modern amenities, from custom lighting, Waterworks fixtures, Farrow & Ball paint, to new mechanical and HVAC systems and beyond. There is ample space for gatherings with family and friends and other private areas throughout the interiors. A custom chef’s kitchen faces east for morning light and is anchored by a premium Aga stove with copper hood, all of which opens to a cozy sitting room with raised fireplace and built-ins. A gorgeous butler's pantry highlights the home’s craftsmanship and woodwork, while the front of the house features formal living and dining rooms and a library office rounds out the floor. Three staircases provide access to the second floor with a split landing grand staircase that's a masterpiece of design. There are seven spacious bedrooms with new bathroom and en suite options and eight fireplaces throughout. Additionally, a carriage house offers a lovely and private two-bedroom dwelling with fireplace. The exteriors are well-landscaped with mature trees, shrubs, and an idyllic gazebo perched atop the sprawling back lawn. Truly an historical gem, the quality of finish and attention to detail of Rogers House is without parallel.
