Sugar Hill House | Historic Butternut Cottage - First home of actress Bette Davis in Sugar Hill, NH

4 Bedroom House in Sugar Hill

This house was originally a farmhouse that is rumored to have burned down. Robert Peckett III informed me his grandfather was living in the formerly small cottage when he sold it to the actress Bette Davis during one of her visits to Sugar Hill. Bette made several additions and modifications to the house. Most notably, she added a barn and two guest rooms, a garage, and a front screened in porch. The house features hand-crafted kitchen cabinets and counter top, four decorative fireplaces, one fireplace with a propane stove, and a working wood stove. The screened-in front porch has plenty of outdoor furniture to relax on lazy summer days and evenings. A side stone terrace features Adirondack chairs for you to enjoy Bette's garden and sundial. The wood-paneled upstairs bedrooms have built-in vanities and bookshelves rumored to have been handcrafted by the Warner Brothers studio crews. The master bedroom also has a non-working fireplace and panels behind the door believed to be hiding places for Bette's liquor. The newly remodeled downstairs bath features a slipper tub that invites you to soak sore muscles after a day of strolling around the White Mountains or skiing at Cannon Mountain and the Mittersill Alpine Resort. The cozy downstairs barn bedrooms have easy access to this bath and feature paneled walls and decorative non-working fireplaces. The main attraction of the house is the barn room, where a lovely collection of photos of Bette's career and life are displayed on the wall surrounding the TV and wood stove. There is a collection of Bette's films in VCR and DVD format for you to enjoy. Enjoy a relaxing evening watching one of Bette's films while watching the logs glow in wood stove.
