About this home
Classic New England farmhouse charm meets exceptional entertaining space! This beautifully maintained 1880 farmhouse offers 5 bedrooms, nearly 4,000 square feet of finished living space, wide-pine flooring, and an impressive attached barn featuring a spectacular finished second level with a custom penny bar. A welcoming farmer's porch and rear deck provide inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Inside, the open-concept kitchen flows into the dining room, while a flexible first-floor suite offers a living room with pellet stove, bedroom, office, and full bathroom; ideal for guests, extended family, working from home, or part of your every day living space. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, complemented by three additional bedrooms, a sitting area, full bathroom, and convenient second-floor laundry. A finished third-floor attic provides additional flexible space for a playroom, office, or hobbies. The attached barn is truly a standout feature, offering generous storage and parking on the lower level, while the expansive finished upper level is an entertainer's dream. Complete with a custom penny bar, mini-split, pellet stove, and plenty of room for billiards, games, and gatherings, this remarkable space is perfect for hosting family and friends. A beautifully restored cupola adds to the property's timeless character. Conveniently located in Alton Village, just a short distance from Lake Winnipesaukee, Mount Major, and year-round Lakes Region recreation, this one-of-a-kind property offers an exceptional blend of historic charm, versatile living space, and unforgettable entertaining opportunities.
A true historic property in Alton! Built in 1880 the pride of ownership is very apparent as the current owners have meticulously maintained this gem. The wrap around porch is excellent for those relaxing summer days and you also have a covered back porch right off the kitchen. Inside the floor plan works great for entertaining as the kitchen is open to the dining room, a walk in pantry, the front room, as well as a three season enclosed porch. The main level also includes a large living room, bedroom and full bathroom. Upstairs we have the primary bedroom with a walk in closet. This space leads to a third floor office space and extra bonus room. Down the hall we have three more bedrooms, a full bathroom, the laundry room as well as a nice sitting area. The real surprise is the fully loaded family room on the second floor of the barn! The custom penny bar is a real conversation piece. Plenty of room for both watching games on the big screen tv or for indoor games as well. The current owners had the original copula on top of the barn fully restored to its original glory. Come and see what this property has to offer! Open House 8/12 from 10-12.
