A unique home that combines historical charm, modern updates, beautiful views and gardens, and excellent indoor and outdoor work/play space!
- 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
- 1668 square feet
- 3 acres
- Built in 1846

Set on 3 acres and looking right out at the Souhegan River, the property consists of the house; a wide one-car garage with shed and storage above; and two barns; as well as a large heated greenhouse. The three outbuildings all have electricity, and the first barn (closest to the house) is set up for a chicken coop as well.
The lot is a mix of open space and woods, with a little brook running along the western side. It's the perfect spot for anyone looking to create a little homestead, with plenty of space for gardens, workshop, etc.
As enticing as the outside might be, once you step into this home you'll feel like you're in another world--one filled with light and style! The family room is warmed by a pellet stove, a feeling enhanced by the open beam ceiling, and the walls of windows flanking each side keep you from feeling closed in.
The spiral staircase leads up to the primary bedroom (more on that later), and the family room opens nicely to the amazing kitchen.
The kitchen is a real show-stopper, with two walls of windows overlooking the river and gardens, exposed beams, farmer's sink, center island with prep sink, and freshly-refinished pine floors. The amount of custom cabinetry (with soft-close drawers) and counterspace is immense. You'll want to go out and make new friends just so you can invite them over and entertain!
Opposite the wall of windows you get a nice little coffee station and breakfast bar.
The kitchen opens to a well-lit dining area with a mini-split and Rinnai gas heater that supplement the pellet stove to provide perfect comfort both summer and winter.

The main entry hall offers a beautifully updated three-quarter bathroom with tile-and-glass shower and laundry.
Just off the dining room you'll find the living room, featuring a decorative fireplace, bamboo floors, and classic wallpaper. Although it is currently no heated, it would be very easy to add a Rinnai heater to create more finished living space--another bedroom, a grand office, library, craft room, etc.
Head up the spiral staircase (you can take the main staircase, too) and you'll find a cavernous primary bedroom, flanked along each side with cubbies and cabinets, and featuring a mini-split and ceiling fan for total comfort.
The bedroom leads into a spacious dressing room, where you can add rolling clothes racks to make the perfect walk-in closet.
Continue through the dressing room into the second floor full bathroom
At the top of the main stairs, just outside the bathroom, is a landing that makes a great spot for a blanket chest or bookcase.
The second bedroom looks out over the river, and the current owners use both bedrooms as offices.
The third bedroom faces south and gets great light, which of course the plants love and the mini-split can tame.
Behind the house there's a extra-wide garage that includes shed area and storage above, and across the driveway are the two barns, one of which is set up for a chicken coop.
You would never know it with lingering snow on the ground, but the gardens at this home are amazing. The front yard has a thousand bulbs, according to the current owner, so you can continue that heritage and add your own horticultural touches to create a beautiful setting.
Your secret weapon for keeping those gardens vibrant is the heated greenhouse, which measures roughly 20' long by 10' wide by 8' high.
Sitting up above the river as it does, the home offers a front-row seat to some spectacular sunrises and rainbows, not to mention passing wildlife.
Part of the lot is nicely wooded, with a brook running along the west side.
Just around the corner, on Adams Street, there are the fields and playground of the Mascenic school district.
Interestingly, the house and barns appear on an 1886 bird's-eye view of the town!
With it's historical charm, beautiful setting, unique modern updates, and utility buildings, this is a one-of-a-kind home. Schedule your showing today or visit one of the open houses and fall in love!
