About This Home

85 Academy Road

Available for the first time, Beriah Loomis House (Fowle House), an expansive 3,185 sq. ft. Colonial on historic Academy Road offering 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms directly across from the Thetford Green and Latham Library. The main residence features high ceilings, wide pine flooring, formal living room with wood stove, dining room with fireplace insert, custom built-in shelving, full bathroom, a sun-filled kitchen with a walk-in pantry and stunning long-range views of NH mountains. A majestic staircase leads to a bright second-floor reading nook illuminated by a striking Palladian window, primary bedroom with ensuite half bath, bedroom 2 with a Mini-split and a full bath. This unique property includes a private in-law apartment in the "ell"—once the summer studio of renowned photographer Clara Sipprell—filled with a bank of windows on three sides, a large open living-dining-kitchen area with woodstove, fireplace, Renaissance heater; upstairs has a bedroom, study with heat pump and full bath. There is air conditioning for summer comfort; during the winter months, the primary dwelling utilizes a 36,000 BTU Mitsubishi electric heat pump and air handler, backed up by a 10kw electric duct heater. Set on nearly two acres, the grounds boast a large deck with a retractable awning, a 2-car portico, gardening shed, gazebo, and fenced gardens with established cherry, plum, and crabapple trees. Ideally located within walking distance of Thetford Elementary, Thetford Academy, Open Fields Private Elementary, and the Parish Players theatre. Offering historic charm and generous living space, this property is a rare find with its prime village location and easy access to the Interstate 91 on-ramp, just three-quarters of a mile away. Showings begin 1 pm Saturday, April 4, after the morning Open House 10 am to 1 pm.
