Beyond the spacious laundry room, a 3-season game room complete with a dry bar and loads of gorgeous old barn wood awaits. Throughout, the 19th century attention to detail is in evidence in the beautiful moldings surrounding the doors and 6-foot windows, high ceilings, and wide board flooring. The library retains the original tin ceiling. This home offers plenty of private garden nooks, a grape arbor with seating, crabapple trees, blueberry and raspberry bushes giving the yard the feel of a country setting. Watch for playful features, such as rustic fairy house in a garden of mint alongside the 2-story barn. And an enchanted garden home fashioned out of the trunk of an old stately white pine that lights up after dark! There are cedar, pine, maple and fir trees, fire bushes and lilacs, hydrangeas, and perennials galore. This home has been a place of loving refuge to families for 180+ years and its ready to begin a new adventure! All this and within an hour of Portland, North Conway NH, Mount Washington and the ocean. Also, many ponds, lakes and streams surround this lovely home. A great value in today's market.
