A Classic Hanover Home on Occom Ridge

It is a rare opportunity to market an important Hanover home for sale and a distinct pleasure. In Hanover real estate there are few landmarks like the The Carlton House. Steeped in the history and traditions of Dartmouth College, the house at 4 Occom Ridge is a treasure 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. This highly desirable location is a short walk to Pine Park, the Dartmouth College campus and downtown Hanover, NH.

The main house, a circa 1897 seven-bedroom shingle style wood framed home, is attached to a distinct four-bedroom accessory dwelling making this a unique property on the Ridge. Well-maintained with improvements by the current owners, historic charm is preserved through many original architectural features. The house features graciously proportioned, light-filled common rooms, architectural details such as raised paneling, chair rails, wainscoting, crown moldings and hardwood flooring.

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.
