A Home with History

A Home with a HISTORY

Welcome to Calmore Estate. Set in the old-world hamlet of Dunstable, in the heart of

the gently undulating Massachusetts countryside, is the Calmore Estate, a renowned historic

gem. The house, built in 1812, has been faithfully restored to its former 19th century glory.

The major addition of the broad side porch with its stately pillars, thoughtfully conceived to

marry harmoniously with the original house, has enriched this splendid residence and kept

her the architectural treasure she remains today.

This enchanting estate lies less than one hour from Boston and only twenty-five

minutes from Manchester with its airport hub, giving owners the advantage of a rural

environment and proximity to major urban areas.

The estate includes a large traditional barn which was once home to saddle horses. It is now an easily

accessible garage that can accommodate six cars; surely a greatly appreciated feature when family and

guests come during the snowy months.

A second striking barn sits across the courtyard from the main house. An airy, two-story post and

beam marvel of fairly recent construction, this amazing barn offers itself to a wide variety of

private and commercial initiatives. It could easily resume its role as an antique store and gift

shop or serve as art gallery to host local and regional artists’ work. Why not a place for local

associations to meet in an extraordinary setting? Truly, this barn’s potential can only grow with the

owner’s imagination.

Connected directly to the post and beam barn is a stylish British made Hartley Botanic greenhouse, a pure

joy for those with a love of plant and flower growing. There is no need to fear chilly days in the barn or

greenhouse as both are radiant heated.

Calmore has undergone modifications through the years to meet the needs of a

modern home. None of the changes has altered the exquisite nature of this exceptional

piece of property. No effort was spared to bring every room in the house back to and even

beyond its initial loveliness, matching each addition faultlessly with the original undisturbed

historical features that the splendid mansion has proudly displayed since 1812.

The vast kitchen with its ceiling high hearth, two-centuries old chestnut counters and

timeless copper sinks that all combine so naturally with the newly added Shaker cabinets, is

but one striking example of the warmth and old style elegance that flows throughout Calmore.

The eight renovated bathrooms some of which have clawfoot baths, painted floors and

refurbished tin ceilings lose none of their authenticity as they function with totally modern

fixtures and plumbing. Indeed, nothing was overlooked as this spacious and gracious home

was brought into today’s world with its noble historic past.

A home within the home is the completely independent in-law apartment on the first

floor.

It can be truly said that everything, be it inside the magnificent house, on the large

and welcoming porch or on the carefully kept grounds, continues to make the Calmore

Estate what it has been these past two hundred years, a prized and unique residence, a

home with a history.
