Property Description
Tucked away on 2.7 acres, this 1850 Cape offers the perfect balance of charm, comfort, and country living. With its classic red clapboard exterior and timeless character, the home welcomes you with warmth the moment you arrive. Inside, wide-pine floors, a woodstove in the kitchen, and a cozy fireplace in the living room create a relaxed, inviting feel. The flexible layout includes three bedrooms and two full baths, along with sunlit living and dining spaces ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. A three-season porch and spacious deck extend the living space outdoors, offering spots to savor morning coffee, evening sunsets, or peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. Step outside and you'll find room to embrace the seasons—whether tending a garden, exploring the wooded edges of the property, or relaxing under the shade of mature trees. A shed and attached garage add convenience, while the partially finished lower level offers room to grow. Located in the heart of Hillsborough County and within the Contoocook Valley School District, the property combines peaceful seclusion with easy access to nearby villages, local trails, and everyday amenities. As part of the sale, an additional .7-acre lot across the street - once home to Hancock's historic School House 8 - provides even more opportunity for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying extra space in your own country retreat.
