This beautifully preserved 1890 residence is one of Denmark's most iconic historic homes, offering timeless charm and an exceptional location. Set on a full acre beside the Denmark Arts Center, Bicentennial Park, and Moose Pond, the property features over 200 feet of water frontage with easy access to the lake's expansive bays. Inside, 3,620 square feet of living space includes four generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and inviting gathering areas highlighted by hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a woodstove that complement the oil heat. A screened porch provides the perfect spot to enjoy summer evenings, while the superb backyard gently leads to the water's edge—ideal for launching your dock and embracing lake life. The attached barn offers parking plus finished space above, perfect for a studio, guest quarters, or home office. With its combination of history, character, and direct water access, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of Denmark in a setting that blends small-town charm with year-round recreation. And don't forget that this property is just minutes away from Pleasant Mountain Ski Area and is the Fryeburg School District, which means free education at the premier High School in the area.
