About this home
Join us in Jackson and be a part of this historic neighborhood. This 1900 vintage home overlooking the iconic Jackson Falls and known as Falls Cottage was built by the owners of the historic Wentworth Hall around 1900. Never look for a parking spot to enjoy Jackson Falls. Enjoy the direct view in all four seasons. Three fireplaces, 2 with gas log stoves, a screen porch, balcony and a patio with a pergola overlooking the falls. 2 Bedrooms, 2 baths, lovely intimate living spaces and architectural details. An office and the bonus of a sauna in the basement. Repainted interior, refinished floors, updated electrical. The flared shingles and decorative pent at the top of the gable are echoed in the other Wentworth buildings. (Yes, I had to Google pent!) The 2-story octagonal tower that faces the street creates a turret living room and bedroom. Jackson is a gem in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. With the best cross country skiing in the east and proximity to Wildcat, Attitash, Cranmore and its own Black Mountain Ski Area, Jackson has been a much beloved destination for over a century. With many choices of fine eateries in town and an abundance of other restaurants and shopping in nearby Glen and North Conway, you can enjoy the Jackson lifestyle. Vacation and enjoy all that the Mount Washington Valley has to offer or make it your forever home.
