Real Estate

The Paula Martin Group had the amazing opportunity to list and sell this magnificent historic mansion in the summer of 2020. The Hubbard Varney home had been on and off the market for a period of two years when we were approached to assist with marketing the home.  We did this just as a global pandemic hit and threatened to derail a strong New Hampshire housing market among other things. After an initial phase of uncertainty and guidelines being issued by the State we were able to harness our local and international marketing capabilities, state of the art digital photography and a virtual showing strategy that got results.

About the home:

The Hubbard-Varney Mansion… An Exquisite, Italianate Villa, offering a level of quality and splendor not often seen in newer builds. Luxurious rooms with impressive 14.5 ft. ceilings, offering arch shaped hardwood doors that reveal intricate designs as light plays across them. Classic marble fireplaces adorned with elaborate mantles anchor beautiful public and private spaces. Elegant chandeliers illuminate stunning millwork and design. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Thomas Russell Hubbard house, as its officially known, is said to “possess symbolic, stylistic, and technical sophistication and stands as one of the best examples of its architectural type within its region” by the NH State preservation dept.

This Elegant home features 5 bedroom, 4 which are suites with private baths including a romantic master suite with a graceful gas fireplace and luxurious En-suite bath. A distinctive formal library bears the initials, DBV on the pierced fireboard of the Eastlake fireplace mantle documenting the prior ownership of previous Mayor of Manchester, Blake Varney. The East and West wings house beautiful parlors and the third-floor family room replete with exposed beams and whimsical design offers space for everyone.
