Welcome to the Asher Tharp home, a mid-18th century colonial on 49+ acres. It was originally located on the Northfield Road. In 1987, the house was moved up the hill to its present site. This center-chimney, cape, farmhouse with its flared eaves, can be associated with Dutch and English colonial buildings. The main floor has a Great Room, Formal Dining Room, Living Room, Library, Den, Butler's Pantry and an eat-in Kitchen with seasonal Garden Room attached. The Master Bedroom Suite with laundry, completes the first floor. The second level has three bedrooms and two full baths. Evident throughout, are the wideboard floors some of which are chestnut. There are six fireplaces. The north wing addition was added in 1987 after the houe was relocated. At this time the foundation for the original house was laid and the chimney was taken apart without a hammer and replaced brick by brick with all flues lined. The property was originally a dairy farm. The "As-Is" Dairy Barn still remains on the property. The land has distant views to the south is bordered on the northeastern side by, Topsmead State Forest, the former summer estate of Miss Edith Morton Chase. There are trails that climb the gently rolling slopes, a pond to the east, beautiful stone walls and meadows on the north and south side of the property.
