    What's special

    A rare restoration opportunity in the heart of Sandwich! Nestled on a peaceful 3.6-acre parcel, this antique Cape offers generous proportions and timeless New England charm, yet is in need of full renovation. The term "good bones" perfectly describes this home with its tight granite and stone foundation, sturdy post and beam frame and underlying structure. The current layout features three+ bedrooms, 4(!) fireplaces, original woodwork and classic finishes, and a traditional floor plan ready to be reimagined. The vintage metal roof, while still serviceable, is being replaced by the seller with a new asphalt shingle roof this fall. Offered AS-IS, this home provides a blank canvas: preserve and restore the historic character, or rebuild to suit your vision. The lot allows ample flexibility for expansion, gardens, or outbuildings. Enjoy country serenity while remaining conveniently close to hiking trails, Squam Lake (with its resident beach and boat launch), Bearcamp Pond, Lake Winnipesaukee, and only minutes from the center of Sandwich. Historic Sandwich features restaurants, music venues, and wonderful shops & galleries to explore. Don’t miss this rare chance to breathe new life into a piece of local history and create a truly custom home in an exceptional setting.
