General Benjamin Pierce, father of Franklin Pierce, our 14th President, constructed this magnificent home in 1807 in the historic settlement of Hillsborough Lower Village.  This timeless landmark home is adjacent to the Franklin Pierce Homestead and has served many lives  a fine country estate, a working dairy farm, a revered antique haven  and continues to serve as the focal point and entry way to a scenic area of country roads and established similar era homes. Of grand proportions, the rooms are spacious and light with high ceilings; traces of antique stenciling emerge from the original plaster walls; numerous fireplaces, brick oven, horizontal hand planed paneling, intricate woodwork and original floors are just the beginning of the present and potential character of this historic property. The attached ell, carriage shed and P&B barn are expansive and most utilitarian  offering superb storage and/or showcase areas.  The surrounding 1.3 acres of land are flat and grassy w/year round brook, handsome landscaping and very high visibility from a well-traveled, scenic cross-state roadway.
