This home offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special! Its cozy layout and unique dimensions make it appealing as a charming summer or vacation retreat. Alternatively, as a primary residence, it has been lived in year-round, and the home has all major systems in working order. Yes, it needs some work—but for the right buyer, the reward will be well worth the effort. With added insulation, improved drainage, and a few modern upgrades, this will become a wonderful full-time residence. A drilled well installed just three years ago provides peace of mind, and the shingles, foundation, and siding are in solid condition, with primarily cosmetic updates needed. Inside, you’ll find details that are increasingly hard to come by—wide pine board walls, hand-hewn beams, and built-in cubbies that add warmth and personality throughout. True to its age, the home also features steep, narrow stairs and some uneven floors, offering an authentic character that antique home enthusiasts will appreciate. The property also includes a barn with strong bones and excellent storage potential, ready for your vision and cosmetic improvements. But what truly sets this property apart is the land. Set on approximately 4.25 acres of open lawn, gardens, and forest, the outdoor space is full of life and possibility. Enjoy abundant sunshine, a peaceful brook, and gardens that were, until recently, carefully cultivated to produce both beauty and fresh food. Flowering plants, fruit trees, blueberries, lilacs, forsythia, and daffodils ensure there’s something to enjoy in every season. All of this is conveniently located just 3 minutes from Route 101 and 10 minutes to downtown Peterborough—offering both accessibility and a sense of retreat. This home won’t be the perfect fit for everyone, but its rich character and timeless charm are simply waiting to be brought to life with modern comfort and care. Are you ready for it?
