45 effingham road

*OPEN HOUSE Sunday, March 8th from 1 to 3pm* Imagine yourself living in this early 1800's farmhouse on a quiet road with a commanding view that changes by the season! Pocket Mountain Farm offers over 17 acres that stretch far down the hill and guarantee permanent preservation of its sweeping mountain vista. The large greenhouse is ready to grow whatever your heart desires, complete with its own heating system. Storage space for tools, equipment, vehicles and animals is plentiful with the two sizeable outbuildings, including horse stalls in the newer barn and a place to store firewood as well. Step into the welcoming kitchen from the front walkway and make yourself right at home. A convenient deck is located just off the western gable end of the house through a sliding door from the kitchen, looking south for miles. During 'stick season', look directly west through the trees towards the unmistakable profile of Mt. Chocorua alongside other peaks in the Sandwich mountain range and the Ossipee Mountains to the WSW. Where there was once a giant cookstove by the main entrance next to the antique chimney, a small eat-in table would go perfectly in its place. A cozy living room area lies just beyond, on your way into the rest of the home. The large picture window here elegantly frames the 'long view' and makes this room an even more appealing place to kick back and relax. From here, the main staircase leads up to a comfortably carpeted, finished second-story bedroom with yet another gorgeous southwesterly view. The rest of the main level provides an office or lounge area, space for a large dining table, and two additional bedrooms. This charming property offers all sorts of possibilities from gardening and livestock to lawn parties and croquet or badminton tournaments! The historic nature of the home is well-preserved and will endure for centuries to come. Proudly become the next steward(s) of a country homestead with nearly 200 years of memories treasured within its walls.
