Open House Featuring Cherry Pond Designs, Bailiwick's Fine Restaurant and Pilgrim Furniture June 27 & 28th

Posted to Chrissy Smith, Events & Activities

4 Local Businesses Join Together For An Innovative Open House - fine food, fine furniture and a great home!

With an innovative approach to selling real estate, and hosting open houses, we have joined with a few other local companies to create an all encompassing open house at one of our listings in Littleton on Granview Road.

The home will be staged with furnishings from Cherry Pond Designs and from Pilgrim Furniture in Littleton. Cherry Pond Designs has been crafting beautiful, hand made furniture at their factory in Jefferson, NH since 1988 and selling it all over the country. They offer many different styles of bedroom and dining room sets as well as occasional and home office furniture. Pilgrim Furniture will also be furnishing the main rooms with upholstery pieces, a grandfather clock, and more. Pilgrim’s has a complete furniture showroom on Meadow Street in Littleton where they have been furniture purveyors for over 40 years.

Bailiwick’s Fine Restaurant, located in downtown Littleton will be busy in the kitchen during the open house. Their Executive Chef Lisa Foster will be demonstrating how to make sushi rolls, something everyone can learn to do. As one of Littleton’s newest dining establishments, they have been getting rave reviews ever since they opened two years ago. Owned by experienced restaurant operators Stacey & Steve Northrop, this is one of the area’s “places to be seen!”

Cherry Pond Designs had approached us about wanting to stage one of our homes with their furniture, and one of our sales associates, Diane Johnson, said she had a house that was perfect for this. We really wanted to create an event for everyone to have something to enjoy. If you have an interest in furniture design and making, we will be featuring furnishings from Cherry Pond Designs and Pilgrim Furniture. If you are interested in gourmet cooking and want to see how a sushi roll is prepared we have that, too. Some great ideas you can take home and incorporate in your own home.

The home is located on Granview Road in Littleton, in one of Littleton’s finest neighborhoods, at the top of Slate Ledge Road. The custom built home features a view of the Moore Reservoir, and the back of the home incorporates floor to ceiling windows. I overheard Diane on the phone the other day talking to a reporter, and she said something to the effect of, “This is a spectacular home, with a great location and attractive design elements. I know this open house will bring together so many fantastic elements, between the furnishings, the food and the people, to really showcase this home in all its glory.”

The open house will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 27th and 28th from 10 am-4 pm both days and we’d love to see you there! For more information, feel free to join our group page on Facebook!

Our Walk through Downtown Littleton NH and the RiverWalk

Posted to Chrissy Smith, Events & Activities

Its was an overcast Monday (6/15) here in Littleton, NH but April Reinhard and I left our Littleton office and took a 15 minute “heart/health walk” down the Riverwalk path many tourists who come to Littleton take, but one that we never have - and we’ve lived here our whole life! We left our office and went over the Cottage Street bridge, when looking left we saw the Paddleford Covered Bridge which was constructed within the last few years, its absolutely beautiful. We then headed onto our Main Street, which is currently under construction, but traffic was still traveling through and a bus load of tourists were browsing through the shops, and one lady had just had her nails done in one of our local salons. We went through the construction zone, which was no small task and crossed in front of a large piece of earth moving equipment - I dare say we felt like a “little people” child’s toy in front of that machine. Downtown Littleton is a site to be seen though, even under construction - historic buildings we passed included the Masonic Temple, The Thayer’s Inn, the large beautiful post office and courthouse and more. We crossed the Ammonoosuc River again, this time over the Ken Curran Steel suspension footbridge that bounces if you don’t walk in step with each other. The river was lovely, and again, this time we could see the Paddleford bridge to our left. We now took a left off the bridge and entered the “Riverwalk” path, the meanders along the river and ends at the Paddleford Bridge. Its a nicely graveled path, and fun to explore! Back to the office we returned, 15 minutes later, and a little out of breath. It was great to walk the Riverwalk - a piece of Littleton NH that many have tourists have visited, but we locals sometimes seem to busy to enjoy - but we found time today and plan to do it again tomorrow! No wonder people chose to live here! We always knew it, but got to see it through another set of eyes today!
