Maison Unifamiliale Détachée Tamworth

After only two private sales over the past 206 years, this one-of-a-kind property has finally reached the open market. A perfectly framed view of Mount Chocorua along with sights and sounds of the Swift River from the private rear deck enhance one’s experience beyond what words can describe. The hot tub and patio furniture are just two of many excuses to linger here for hours on end. Your view to Chocorua can be maintained in perpetuity thanks to the smart configuration of the lot! This home truly provides the best of both worlds, with a marvelously preserved antique colonial proudly facing Great Hill Road and its 2005 timberframe counterpart turning attention to the north. Over 1,200 feet of river frontage is paralleled by a magical trail running all the way to the northernmost tip of these 9.2 acres, and even more paths extend through the property’s heart. Once inside the main entryway, you are greeted by the warm and welcoming kitchen and towering family room accentuated by the reputable Phil Strothers’ post & beam craftsmanship. The crackling wood stove gives a warm and captivating glow while comfortable seating beckons to those who are not drawn in by the kitchen’s tasteful design. Polished countertops bring this space together beneath the well-made wooden cabinetry, and a central island offers excellent seating and storage. Both levels of the historic and modern halves of this home transition seamlessly between each other. All five bedrooms and three bathrooms are adequately spaced apart to ensure privacy for everyone. The secondary kitchen could easily be converted into a first floor laundry room if desired! New architectural shingles cover the entire roof, which will last for decades to come. Prepare to enjoy ready-to-go garden space, a level lawn for games and private events, and life on one of the quietest roads in town. The gentle downhill approach to Tamworth village is right out of a storybook. ** OPEN HOUSE Saturday, October 24th from 2 to 4pm! **
