NH Home Of The Year

2024 HOME OF THE YEAR - Remodel

Nestled on a quiet country lane in Dublin, New Hampshire, this property originally featured a turn-of-the-century bungalow and several outbuildings dating back to the 1800s. Period charm intact, the estate’s original footprint and shell were expanded to achieve a home that blends the homeowner’s distinct vision and whimsical personality with impeccable craftsmanship.

The exterior of the home features rustic red board-and-batten siding, honeyed cedar shakes, and a durable metal steel roof with defined angles.

An outbuilding has been rebuilt into a yoga and exercise studio with radiant heating, a cork floor, and a luxurious steam sauna.

The former barn was renovated into a custom guest house with a private kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. An outdoor shower and separate bathroom entrance provide guests returning from a day of lakeside activities with a place to rinse off and change for the next activity. The garage was transformed into a soundproofed room that doubles as a recording studio and library.

Make your way inside the main house to discover more deliberate, custom touches and enviable details including soapstone kitchen counters, a sprawling screened-in porch, a wet bar, a special room for the client’s cat, an organized pantry, a “hidden” passage to the above-garage guest suite, accessibility ramps in the garage, motion lights throughout, and custom windows for ample natural light.

The staircase is a work of art with custom steel railings and oak flooring. Upstairs, the six rooms and three bathrooms each provide a distinct ambiance, complete with a designated theme, color schemes, and wallpaper.

The homeowner’s love for NH living, hosting family and friends, and unconventional tastes have been thoughtfully tied into each facet of design and crafted to perfection.

This home defines timeless design, feeling as though it has existed forever while offering ample modern amenities.
