Nestled just outside Gilmanton's historic district on nearly 5 acres, this distinguished 1793 Colonial is a rare American treasure and a true holiday home. With 3 spacious bedrooms (plus the option for a 4th 1st floor primary), 3 updated bathrooms, and an entertainer's dream kitchen, this timeless property blends authentic period detail with modern comfort and efficiency. Brimming with warmth and character, it offers cozy nooks perfect for coffee or a good book. Radiant in-floor heating and a wood stove in the kitchen, along with three working fireplaces, make this home truly inviting. Historic features include a captain's staircase, wide pine floors, exposed beams, Indian shutters, raised paneling, and beautifully preserved 12-over-12 and 12-over-8 Victorian glass windows. Plaster walls and ceilings are intact, and the exterior features graduated-reveal clapboards. Chimneys have been rebuilt and lined; solar hot water and a synthetic slate roof boost efficiency without compromising character. Whether hosting a gathering or enjoying a quiet night by the fire, this home is made for lasting memories. Come home for the holidays and experience the magic of New England living. With multiple home offices, a whole-house generator, 3-season porch, patio, and barn, this property offers charm and practicality.
