Some homes just need someone to see what they could be, and this classic 1905 New Englander has that potential. With four bedrooms, a screened porch, and a beamed living room warmed by a wood stove, and the kind of period character you can't recreate new, this is a home ready for someone to bring their vision and make their own. Bring fresh finishes to the bedrooms and bath, brighten up the kitchen, and this could easily become the kind of primary home you build a lifetime of memories in or the perfect vacation getaway house in the White Mountains. The bones are here: solid construction, a granite foundation, generous room sizes, and layout that flows naturally from the entry, through the living spaces, and out to the porch. A finished loft space upstairs even offers the option of extra sleeping quarters for guests, home office or hobby space, once updated to fit your style. Set in low-tax Bartlett, this property is minutes from the school, and only a short drive to Storyland, Attitash ski mountain, and the shops and restaurants of North Conway Village. The White Mountains National Forest is practically your backyard, offering hiking, snowshoeing, and four-season recreation right outside your door. Whether you're picturing a full-time home base or a weekend escape from the everyday, the location alone puts you at the center of everything the MWV has to offer and the opportunity to make your own.
