About this home

Step into a piece of New Hampshire history with this thoughtfully restored and meticulously maintained circa-1835 New England farmhouse, beautifully situated on 5 private acres in the heart of Alton. Blending timeless character with carefully curated modern comforts, this one-of-a-kind property offers a lifestyle as remarkable as the home itself. A custom-designed mudroom welcomes you with radiant heated floors, integrated laundry, and a luxurious bath featuring a soaking tub. The heart of the home is the stunning eat-in kitchen, handcrafted with wood milled from trees harvested directly from the property. Warm radiant heat, a cozy gas fireplace, and picturesque views create an inviting space to gather, cook, and unwind. Two fully updated kitchens offer exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, rental opportunities, or entertaining. Original wide-plank floors, exposed beams, hand-hewn posts, period wavy-glass windows, and beautifully preserved architectural details showcase the home's rich heritage. A convenient workshop just off the living room creates the perfect space for hobbies and projects. Outside, an 8' x 50' farmer's porch, attached deck, firepit, koi pond waterfall, fenced dog yard, livestock/chicken area, and expansive level lawn invite you to fully embrace country living. Mature perennial gardens, apple trees, trumpet vines, forsythia, hydrangeas, and three magnificent 150+ year-old maple trees create a breathtaking landscape framed by historic stone walls. Bordering a 250-acre conservation beaver bog, this property offers exceptional privacy, wildlife viewing, and peaceful surroundings. Recent improvements include a new house roof (2018), garage roof (2024), boiler (2021), and premium driveway replacement (2020).
