199 Squam Lake Rd, Center Sandwich, NH 03227

Due to Buyer circumstances this property is BACK on the Market! Fresh air away from the cities! Step back in time! Lovingly maintained circa 1790, this original post and beam antique cape was expanded over the years but retains its authentic features including the center chimney Rumford style fireplace with three openings, and beautifully preserved pine flooring. Great location 3 minutes to Squam Lake! Miles of hiking trails permeate the area! Scenic roads for biking! This home was tastefully expanded to continue the early day construction by using hand hewn beams harvested from an old barn to replicate the post and beam technique. Now this very comfortable home blends the old with the new. One floor living with generous room sizes and a very nice floor plan. There is a third bonus bedroom on the second floor for extra sleeping spaces. The two car garage has direct access to the main level. The exterior showcases aged cedar shakes! The standing seam metal roof with its southern exposure sheds the snow and the heat easily. Over 3 acres of gently rolling terrain offers a spacious lawn area, parking area, and a super 25 x 50' in-ground swimming pool that was the home base for a summer aquatic school for 50 years! A pool house too! Still winterized! This is a genuine country home with great access to the lake, the center of town, and so many local recreational and cultural amenities! It's a perfect spot to live in Sandwich, a quintessential New England town. Come to the country!
