Gracefully set on nearly seven private acres of open space and perennial gardens, this exceptional 1785 Antique Cape offers a rare opportunity to experience the romance of historic New England. Tastefully enhanced with today’s most desired comforts and major recent renovations, yet rich in heritage, the home has undergone significant recent improvements, including a completely new kitchen, upgraded attic and basement insulation, window and door replacement, a Vermont Castings propane stove and much more. Inside, a warm and inviting interior unfolds where original architectural details including wide pine floors and hand-hewn beams create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The incredible kitchen serves as the heart of the home, opening to gathering spaces designed for both intimate living and gracious entertaining. A formal dining room, along with additional first-floor rooms for living, work or guests, offers exceptional versatility. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a private retreat with en suite bath, while additional bedrooms and a shared bath are arranged to accommodate family and guests. Outdoors, the estate unfolds as a true gentleman’s farm. A 48' x 22' barn offers endless possibilities: animals, workshop, future ADU or garage. Multiple outdoor settings, from the farmer’s porch to shaded seating beneath a mature oak or newly added 12X24 TREX deck, invite quiet moments immersed in the surrounding natural beauty. Celebrated for its preservation and featured in the June 2001 issue of Better Homes and Gardens, this property stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and thoughtful stewardship. On a quiet country road, yet conveniently located to Lakes Region local amenities, including bike and hiking trails, Lake Wentworth State Park, Wolfeboro and Lake Winnipesaukee, and skiing at Abenaki Mtn, this is a residence where history, beauty, and modern comfort converge—offering a lifestyle as timeless as the home itself.
