Welcome to this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home ideally situated on a sunny, level lot just minutes from town. Built in 1813, this remarkable property offers the rare opportunity to own a true piece of history — constructed when Abraham Lincoln was just four years old. Rich in character and timeless craftsmanship, the home rests on a solid granite foundation and even features a striking granite bridge in the basement — a testament to the enduring quality and ingenuity of early New England construction. The first level features an updated kitchen, a living room, formal dining room, and a large family room. You’ll appreciate the craftsmanship throughout the home with hand-hewn beams, built-ins, and preserved architectural details that reflect its early 19th-century heritage. A first-floor primary suite provides ease and privacy. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms, a full bath, an office, and a bonus room that can serve as a studio, playroom, or flexible living space. The versatile floor plan offers plenty of natural light, comfortable living areas, and room for entertaining. Outside, the setting is equally special. A gentle running brook adds peaceful charm, while mature apple trees and beautiful lilacs enhance the landscape with seasonal color and fragrance. The open, level yard is perfect for gardening, play, or simply relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. The location can’t be beat: walking distance to Lake Sunapee Country Club and just minutes from Lake Sunapee and Pleasant Lake for boating, swimming, and year-round recreation. Schools, shopping, and local restaurants are all nearby, making this an incredibly convenient spot. This is more than a home — it’s history, craftsmanship, natural beauty, and location all in one.
