Property Description

As you travel along the breathtaking shores of New Hampshire's most coveted coastline, tracing the undulating curves of the Atlantic, the scenery evokes an era when wealthy families would escape the city's bustle for summers by the sea. Within the storied enclave of Little Boar's Head – home to a legacy of turn-of-the-century estates with meandering stonewalls, gated entrances, and perfectly manicured grounds, you arrive at "Balmoral"-a residence of distinction, where sophistication meets an unrivaled coastal backdrop. This extraordinary Colonial Revival offers a rare opportunity to own a one of the truly iconic oceanfront estates in New England. Its commanding presence has an elevated vantage point ensuring privacy while maximizing the stunning panoramas that stretch along the coastline and beyond. The handsome brick, hip-gabled slate roof, and elegant black shutters frame this 8,680-square-foot residence with three acres of expansive grounds and a sweeping lawn that gently cascades toward Ocean Boulevard, which sets the tone upon arrival. Originally built in 1930 as a summer retreat for Governor Huntley Spaulding, this stately residence was masterfully reconstructed in 2010, seamlessly blending classic grandeur with state-of-the-art luxury. Step through the formal entrance, where it immediately affirms a sense of style, grace and sophistication. High ceilings and a grand staircase with beautifully crafted low risers designed specifically for the delicate and graceful movements of ladies in gowns, this hallmark of elegance from the era remains. Plastered walls, designer finishes, and impeccable craftsmanship unfold throughout, from the expansive living spaces to the intimate, thoughtfully curated retreats. Whether hosting lavish dinner parties, entertaining family and friends, or gathering on the front lawn for a wedding, the possibilities are endless. "Balmoral" stands as a testament to timeless elegance and modern refinement. Despite its tranquil ambiance, the location affords effortless access to Boston, Portsmouth's vibrant downtown, and esteemed institutions such as Phillips Exeter and Phillips Andover. For those seeking a tax haven, New Hampshire has officially become one of two states with no income tax, no dividends and interest tax, and no sales tax.  New Hampshire is the lowest overall tax burden of any state in the lower 48.
