About this home
Welcome to the Bellsong House – a home that greets you with quiet charm and settles into your soul the moment you arrive. Tucked into the rolling hills of Lyme, this four-bedroom retreat offers a slower pace—where sunlit mornings and woodstove evenings invite you to linger. The heart of the home is a simple, inviting kitchen—perfect for everyday meals or spontaneous late-night chats. The adjoining living room wraps around a wood stove, creating a space that feels effortlessly welcoming. A first-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or single-level living. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer private space for family, creativity, or calm. The full bathroom features a unique, hand-crafted wood vanity with a double sink—adding warmth, character, and just the right touch of personality. Step outside and the rhythm of life slows. The yard is open and easy—ideal for gardening, tossing a ball, or just enjoying a breeze. The classic barn out back offers space for storage, hobbies, or that studio you’ve always wanted. You’re just five minutes to Lyme’s picturesque village green, five to the Dartmouth Skiway, and twenty to Dartmouth College and Hanover. Close enough to stay connected. Far enough to exhale.
