A Quintessential Antique Cape, once the Baptist Church Parsonage, gracing the Village streets of Sandwich. Built circa 1845 and first sold in 1849, this home is steeped in history and charm. From the lovely lawn area and the granite posts dotting the property lines, to the incredible 2 1/2 story barn, this home exudes Sandwich history and lore! This home has been owned by the current seller for 46 years and only gently used a few weeks each year. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a center staircase, and nice pantry space off the kitchen, this home is ready for a new owner to refurbish and renew the living spaces and add their own personal touches. There are even possibilities with the large and glorious barn that has access from both the first and second floor. Some work has been done to the barn to ensure it will see many more years of glory. Located in the historic district of Sandwich with just the right restrictions in keeping with this Historic Town Center, one is brought back in time to a feeling or yesteryear. There is a magical feeling surrounding this classic New England town and now is the time to be part of that with exclusive town access and beach on Squam Lake and the famous Pot Holes swimming! Imagine this home bathed in Autumn Color or covered by fluffy NH snow! A site not seen anywhere else!
