Video of 5 Lamprey Road | Canterbury, New Hampshire real estate & homes
- We love Canterbury. It has a wonderful atmosphere with friendly neighbors and an ideal location. People work and play together to make Canterbury a great place to live. For example, when the town general store was in danger of closing, residents got together, purchased the property and made sure it continued to operate. The current operators, also town residents, have gone on to improve it and on request will stock products that you need. That was great for us since the store, town center and post office are all an easy walk from the house. The house is easy walking distance to the town library and elementary school
There is always something going on in the town like dancing, quilting, yoga, cross country skiing, holiday programs for kids and adults, the Canterbury Fair or programs at the Shaker Village. The house is right down the street from an apple orchard, there’s a town beach on the Merrimack River, walking, cross country skiing and ski mobile trails abound and the local roads are excellent for biking, running or just walking your dog. There are also several ponds and lakes for fishing and forest preserves for hiking and birding. It’s less than 10 minutes from I-93 and less than an hour from all I-93 ski areas or hiking in the White Mountains or Manadnock region. It’s also less than an hour to the seacoast and 40 minutes to the Manchester Airport and about an hour from Boston.
We chose the site for its natural beauty. We especially love the old growth trees, two ponds, small stream and captivating array of boulders naturally arranged by the last ice age. It feels like a wildness location, which is amazing given its location a mere ½ mile from town center.
The design was a labor of love based on principles from noted architect Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language. For the interior, we wanted a special design that was comfortable and made an artistic contribution to the space, as well as providing opportunities for the display of art.
For example, we drew from Alexander to create a main entry way that has a transition in light, surface, direction and view, as well as providing a comfortable front porch. Similarly, the downstairs rooms all feature thick walls with generous arches that create comfortable but visually interesting room transitions and ceiling height variety. The wide archways also facilitate an easy passage between rooms that is particularly helpful with entertaining, large dogs or playful children. We once had 60 people in the house and no one was crowded or restricted in their movement from place to place.
We insisted on real plaster for all interior walls and nearly all rooms have thick walls, Zen views and light on 2 or more sides. We chose European proven radiant heated floors to provide even heat and eliminate drafts. The energy efficient windows were all carefully sized and placed to optimize views and take advantage of changes in time and season. It was a treat to wake up each morning and see what new art your house had made with the help of its natural surroundings.
Exterior
The exterior was patterned to interact with the site, not just sit on it. Thus, it incorporates a number of Alexander building principles, like a sheltering roof with generous overhangs that provide protection and pleasantly interact with natural site features. The roof is not just a cap siting on a box.
Living in this house is like wearing your favorite sweatshirt; it is so comfy and cozy. One of my favorite places is the window seat. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent there with a cup of tea, my book or my IPad. It’s private but offers a great view of the outdoors and the birds and resident wildlife, which often come quite close.
I also love the kitchen. I am a cook and the work triangle really works. Everything you need is easily within reach. Other people can get to the refrigerator, sink or dish cabinets without getting in your way, you can talk to your family or guests sitting in the siting area or at the island and you have great views of one of the ponds and the woods.
I love being in the house when it rains. The big overhands put a lot of distance between you and the rain coming off the roof and leave you feeling safe and sheltered. I also love being on the front porch when it rains because the water cascades off the entry shed roof to splash on the rocks below. When it is really raining, the sound and site are both very special.
We are really going to miss being in the house and Canterbury. But nearing retirement with two properties in the same state didn’t make sense. While this home will always be special, we chose to move to our farm to be near our horses.

Video of 231 Platt Road | Cornish, New Hampshire real estate & homes
Established in 1763, the town of Cornish became a well known summer resort for artists and writers. Artists seeking studios away from the summer heat of New York City began coming to Cornish in 1885. This area became the center of the popular Cornish Art Colony. The home of the St. Gaudens National Park, which offers wonderful concerts on the lawn during the summer months, Cornish offers the warmth of a small, distinguished and picturesque community and is an easy commute to Dartmouth College and historic Woodstock, Vt.
A scenic trip to the White Mountain National Forest is about forty-five minutes northeast, while the NH seacoast lies about ninety minutes away. Historic Concord, NH, can be reached inside of an hour and the state's largest city, Manchester, lies only ten minutes beyond that.
Cornish is the site of the second-longest wooden covered bridge in the United States, and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world.
Welcome to the Admiral William Folger Homestead.
Rear Admiral William Mayhew Folger was an officer in the United States Navy. He served in the American Civil War, Spanish-American War, and Phillipine-American War, and briefly was commander-in-Chief of the United States Asiatic Fleet.
Meticulously maintained with 8 fireplaces and large, light filled rooms. This home brings back the elegance of Victorian country living with modern conveniences on 35 acres of manicured grounds set among ancient trees, overlooking pastures of grazing horses. Constructed of planks and beams milled on the estate in 1900, this is a building of enduring quality.
Cornish remains a quaint community, with no large chain stores or shopping malls, but is located close to towns which do, such as Hanover and West Labanon.

This is where the parents accuse the teachers of stepping over the line - who is in charge of their kids?

How zip codes helped organize America
Zip codes, explained.
Subscribe to our channel!
Zip codes were invented in 1963 to help the United States Postal Service deal with huge increases in mail volume. The Zone Improvement Plan, or “ZIP” code system of addressing, organized mail delivery by dividing the country into 10 regions and assigning five digits increasing in specificity: from region to large sorting centers to smaller post offices. To promote the new system, the USPS released publicity materials featuring Mr. Zip, a cartoon character, and a song about zip codes from a band called The Swingin’ Six.
As the nation grew, the USPS updated zip codes by adding a four-digit suffix in 1983. The new suffix corresponds to specific destinations, such as one side of a street or a certain floor of an office building. Now, geocoding technology has created the possibility of even more specific addressing.
