Description

Steeped in the tradition and history of Dartmouth College, The Carleton House at 4 Occom Ridge is a landmark home in what is arguably Hanover's finest residential neighborhood. Sited on the crest of Occom Ridge and offering 273 of frontage and westerly views over the Connecticut River, the 1.2-acre property is accessed by private driveway and is a short walk to Pine Park, the Dartmouth College campus and downtown Hanover. The main house, an historic ca. 1897 seven-bedroom shingle style wood framed home, is attached to a distinct four-bedroom accessory dwelling making this a very unique property. Well-maintained with improvements by the current owners, historic charm is preserved through many original features; graciously proportioned, light-filled common rooms, architectural details such as raised paneling, chair rails, wainscot, crown moldings and warmth of hardwood flooring fill the interior with a strong sense of history. The second house, connected by both an exterior walkway and enclosed breezeway, offers an open living/dining room, kitchen, first floor bedroom, two bathrooms and three additional bedrooms upstairs. Gracious, spacious, and confident in its place in the history of Hanover and Dartmouth, the Carleton House is a rare opportunity to own a Hanover gem.
