About this home

Historic Candia Landmark – The Tom Thumb House & Schoolhouse No. 9. Rarely does a property come to market with a story as rich as 60 Old Deerfield Road in Candia, NH. Known locally as the "Tom Thumb House," this remarkable antique Cape dates back to approximately 1751, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Hampshire history. Generations have passed through its doors, yet the home's timeless character, craftsmanship, and New England charm remain intact. Inside, you'll discover the warmth and character only an 18th-century 3 bedroom home can provide, with period details, antique charm, and a sense of history woven throughout. Outside, the grounds create a picturesque setting where history and rural New Hampshire beauty come together. What makes this property truly extraordinary is that it is more than just a home, t's a historic compound. The property is also home to the former Schoolhouse No. 9, a one-room schoolhouse that stands as a reminder of Candia's early educational roots and adds a unique layer of historical significance seldom found in today's market with a 3/4 bath and finished loft. Both dwellings are equipped with whole house generators, heating and septic systems. Located in the heart of Candia, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living while remaining just minutes from Manchester, major commuter routes, local farms, conservation areas, walking trails, schools, and the Seacoast. Whether you're a history enthusiast, preservation-minded buyer, or simply someone looking for a home with a story to tell, the Tom Thumb House and Schoolhouse No. 9 present an opportunity that is truly one of a kind.
