Reuben Dimond House, Renovated Historic Farmhouse in the Capital, Concord, NH.

The Reuben Dimond house is located in Concord, New Hampshire; a central location with easy access to a major state highway. Day trippers will find this location convenient to jump onto the highway and head north or south, or to simply wander the back roads and enjoy the sights of New England.
Named after its original owner, this recently renovated farmhouse, circa 1767, sits at the end of a dead-end road surrounded by farm and conservation land. It provides privacy for a quiet rural get-a-way while located only minutes from Concord's Main Street and the State Capital. It provides the feel of the country while being only a few minutes from a busy and vibrant New England city. Downtown Concord offers excellent dinning, theater, cinema, shopping and more.

Step out the front door to find just one of the city's-maintained trails for hiking, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, or just communing with nature. Concord has over 85 miles of dedicated hiking and biking trail available to residents and visitors alike.

The groomed 1.4-acre farmhouse lot provides excellent space for all your outdoor recreational activities, such as, wiffleball, badminton, volleyball, croquet, horseshoes, etc. While sitting next to the fire pit, you may encounter deer, turkeys, and other native animals and birds.

Just up the road, at the top of the hill, is a working farm (Rossview Farm). If you catch them in season, you can pick your own strawberries, blueberries, or pumpkins. During late February and early March, you can sample maple syrup hot from the evaporator. In December it's cut your own Christmas tree time.

The kitchen is well equipped for enjoying your morning coffee or tea and cooking and baking on inside days. The historic summer kitchen now includes a reading nook and laundry closet. During the winter months a fire may be built in the wood stove to allow for a comfortable and relaxing read or to simply dry out your damp clothes from the outdoors activities.

The house was built prior to the revolutionary war. Its exterior walls are of plank construction (i.e., 3-inch-thick pine planks 15 to 24 inches wide and 8 foot tall. This was possible when sawmills became available and log cabins were no longer the only possibility.

A couple of unique items must also be noted. The staircase leading to the second floor is described as a "fan staircase" because it is narrow at the bottom and fans out to be very wide at the top. It is doubtful you have seen a like staircase.
The other notable item is the small 8-inch by 8-inch window located at the top corner of the southwest wall of the main house. It is reported this window was an Indian look out. When there was notice of a raiding party traveling down the Merrimack River, the family would hide in the crawl space and watch until the danger was over. The window also provided light into the crawl space. Remember, there was no electricity in 1767.

What we love about this property is the quiet. Most nights you can sit outside and hear nothing but the wind through the trees and the crackling of the fire in the fire pit.

Beautiful retreat!
The property was absolutely lovely! The owner did a beautiful job on the renovations, creating a modern but old-charm feel, with some original features. Top-notch linens, comfortable furniture, spacious bathroom, and the kitchen had all we needed! Grounds were also very pretty, and Concord is a wonderful little city!

Period Home in the Woods
Superb stay! Charm and comfort galore. Reunited with our daughter for a long weekend of much needed family time. Peaceful setting. The host was super accommodating especially when we locked ourselves out of the house. His swift response and help were greatly appreciated. Well kept spacious home. Highly recommend.

Peaceful & Quiet
Our family had a busy weekend scheduled for our daughter’s softball tournament in Concord, and wanted a quiet place to rest and recharge in between games. This place exceeded our expectations - I wish we’d had more time to spend at the property, it was beautiful and super quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

Just Beautiful
Lynn has done a fantastic job renovating an old house into a comfortable home - there are books documenting the process. The bathroom and appliances are all new. It's just comfortable living in a secluded area, but only minutes to downtown Concord. Will definitely stay again next time We're in the area.

Perfect Choice!
Staying at the Reuben Diamond house was a perfect choice for our trip to New Hampshire. The house perfectly captured the essence of New England and all it had to offer. The combination of it’s historic charm and modern comfort is tough to achieve, but our host did it perfectly! Beds were very comfortable, place was absolutely spotless, and the grounds made for a beautiful, quiet getaway. 5 stars all around.

Wonderful Historic Property
We had the most wonderful Christmas in this historic home. Everything was perfect and the host thought of everything we might need. The location was secluded, but not too far away from the city. Loved the nature trails and the beautiful landscape surrounding the home. It was the perfect reconnect for our family. The biggest plus was the distance - everything was just about an hour away - coast, mountains, Vermont, Boston - LOVED IT - it was the perfect hub.
