Nestled on 42 picturesque acres just minutes from the heart of Francestown Village, this 4-bedroom, 1 full and 2 half bath 1770's antique Cape offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Rich with character, the home features wide wood floors, a welcoming wood-burning fireplace, and a screened porch that invites you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Natural light fills the space, enhancing the warmth and timeless appeal throughout. A standout feature of the property is the impressive barn with a metal roof and oversized garage door—ideal for storage, hobbies, or creative use. A local antique collector notes the shed dates back to the 1840s, showcasing peg and notch construction, hand-hewn beams, lead-pane windows, and a long original bench once used for crafting leather saddles. These historic elements provide a unique glimpse into the property’s storied past. Francestown offers a strong sense of community and a quintessential New England village feel, with easy access to skiing at Crotched Mountain, just a short drive away. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat or a full-time residence, this home provides a rare opportunity to enjoy a rural lifestyle steeped in history—all just 40 minutes from Manchester Airport and 1.5 hours to Boston. Showings begin at the open house on Sunday 4/13/25 from 11-1.
